Supply Chain Management Models : Forward, Reverse, Uncertain, and Intelligent Foundations with Case Studies

Supply Chain Management (SCM) is a wide field in which several specialties are included. In general, operations and production management players use SCM to organize the problems and analyze the solution approaches. Due to these points, a reference which can encompass a range of problems and their modelling approaches is required. This book will contain three general sections of forward, reverse, intelligent, and uncertain problems. While the book provides different problems in the three commonly used categories in SCM, it is very helpful for the readers to find out, or adapt their own application studies to the ones given in the book and employ the corresponding modeliing approach.

• Covers all known problems in SCM
• Includes many case studies, a vast range of models, as well as numerical implementations
• Discusses reverse logistic models for environmental considerations
• Presents both managerial and technical models
• Breaks the models down into three commonly used categories in SCM
