Supply Chain Management, 7e

Learning objectives help students understand what they need to take away from each chapter. The link between supply chain decisions and the financial performance of a firm has been developed in detail in Chapter 3. Concepts underlying the design of distribution networks are illustrated in the context of omni-channel retailing in Chapter 4. New mini-cases, examples, and exercises with a global focus have been added to help students apply the concepts and methodologies in the context of strategic decision-making for a business. Some of these examples in the Indian context include: “GST—A Logistics Game Changer in India”, “Jaipur Rugs—Networking Tradition with Modernity,” “Outsourcing Maintenance Repair and Operations (MRO) Service by the Indian Aviation Industry,”
