| Summary |
This book is aimed at an important and underserved niche within the supply chain educational market: strategic supply chain network design. Almost all supply chain professionals need to know about this discipline, and this book is meant to help them do it well. Strategic network design is about selecting the right number, location, and size of warehouse and production facilities. At the same time, firms will need to determine the territories of each facility, which product should be made where, and how product should flow through the supply chain. This book covers both the theory and the practice of this discipline in a way that ensures that readers will be successful when implementing strategic network design planning in their respective fields. Doing this work well requires an understanding of the theory. We have included sections on the mathematical formulations of the problems to give you, the reader, a deeper appreciation of how solutions are found. We will also cover how to get answers in the complexity of the real world. The text is combined with interactive exercises using commercially available software as well. |

| Summary |
"Global Macrotrends and Their Impact on Supply Chain Management" will prepare you to manage supply and demand in a world marked by demographic and economic shifts that will turn markets upside down. They offer a complete decision framework and practical tools, insights, and guidance for systematically mitigating new risks and building long-term competitive advantage. This book focuses squarely on emerging societal, technological, geopolitical, and environmental macro trends, helping you assess the impacts of population growth, migration, urbanization; socioeconomic change, global connectivity, environmental issues, geopolitics, growing scarcity, transportation congestion, aging infrastructure, and emerging supply-demand imbalances. It also provides comprehensive mitigation strategies based on logistics, resource recovery, resource protection, and demand/supply shaping. |
