Supply Chain Analytics

Understanding the Business Context

Edition 1.1 | Copyright 2019 | Publication Date: August 2018

Nada R. Sanders, Northeastern University

Overview


Supply Chain Analytics: Understanding the Business Context addresses an important gap in a thorough education in supply chain management. Unlike the many texts explicating the various mathematical aspects of supply chain management, this textbook illuminates the qualitative side of supply chain analytics. First, it teaches students to identify and ask relevant questions. Second, it helps students make decisions based on output from analytics algorithms. Through business examples and stories, it shows how to use systems thinking and interdisciplinary understanding to apply analytics-driven insights across the supply chain.

Features

End-of-Chapter Features Confirm and Enhance Understanding
Review each chapter with an end-of-chapter highlight of key terms and concepts. Take deeper dives using the endnotes.
