Winner of the 2016 Coup de Coeur prize at the Plumes des
Achats & Supply Chain, Paris.Focusing on the design of robust value-creating supply chain
networks (SCN) and key strategic issues related to the number;
location, capacity and mission of supply chain facilities (plants,
distribution centers) – as well as the network structure required
to provide flexibility and resilience in an uncertain world – this
book presents an innovative methodology for SCN reengineering that
can be used to significantly improve the bottom line of supply
chain dependent businesses. Providing readers with the tools needed
to analyze and model value creation activities, Designing
Value-Creating Supply Chain Networks examines the risks faced by
modern supply chains, and shows how to develop plausible future
scenarios to evaluate potential SCN designs. The design methods
proposed are based on a visual representation formalism that
facilitates the analysis and modeling of SCN design problems, book
chapters incorporate several example problems and exercises which
can be solved with Excel tools (Analysis tools and Solver) or with
commercial statistical and optimization software.
