Premium Select Supply Chain Performance: Collaboration, Alignment And Coordination (control Systems, Robotics And Manufacturing Series),used For You [ejpvOHfR]

This book examines the opportunities for, and the effects and benefits of, collaborative working practices and their impact on supply chain performance. The book is organized into three main parts; first part focuses on modeling the supply chain using conceptual frameworks to describe the relationship between collaboration and performance. The second part examines the issues around information systems alignment, and ensuring the management and coordination of interactions with suppliers and customers. The final part of the book focuses on the various different formalized approaches (including simulation, game theory, experimental economics, Petri nets and objectoriented design techniques) that may be taken to analyze the impact of any given collaboration process, coordination mechanism, or decisionmaking behavior on supply chain performance.
