The
third edition of Professor David Simchi-Levi’s
book, Designing and Managing the
Supply Chain, was recently published
by McGraw-Hill.
Used
by hundreds of business schools around
the world as the main supply chain
text book, Designing and Managing
the Supply Chain provides state-of-the-art
models, concepts, and solution methods
that are important for the design,
control, operation, and management
of supply chain systems. In particular,
the authors attempt to convey the
intuition behind many key supply chain
concepts and to provide simple techniques
that can be used to analyze various
aspects of the supply chain. Topical
coverage reflects the authors’
desire to introduce students to those
aspects of supply chain management
that are critical to the success of
a business. Although many essential
supply chain management issues are
interrelated, the authors strive to
make each chapter as self-contained
as possible, so that the reader can
refer directly to chapters covering
topics of interest. Each chapter utilizes
numerous case studies and examples,
and mathematical and technical sections
can be skipped without loss of continuity.
The 3rd edition represents a substantial
revision. While the structure and
philosophy were kept intact, the authors
placed an increasing importance on
finding or developing effective frameworks
that illustrate many important supply
chain issues. At the same time, motivated
by new developments in industry, they
added material on a variety of topics
new to the book while increasing the
coverage of others.
