Supply chain engineering models and applications
"Preface This book emphasizes a quantitative approach to solving problems related to designing and operating supply chains. Importantly, though, it is not so "micro" in its focus that the perspective on the larger business problems is lost, nor is it so "macro" in its treatm...
