This work brings together research in the application of operations research and mathematical modelling techniques to supply chain management problems. The chapters place a heavy emphasis on the application of modelling techniques to real world management problems. Each chapter is a self-contained study of a relevant research problem in supply chain management. In many instances, the actual results from applying these techniques in practice are highlighted. In addition, each chapter provides important managerial insights that apply to general supply chain management practice. Included are several chapters that address the new and rapidly growing role of e-commerce in supply chain management.
