Networks Against Time: Supply Chain Analytics for Perishable Products: SpringerBriefs in Optimization

Autor Anna Nagurney, Min Yu, Amir H. Masoumi, Ladimer S. Nagurney
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 2013
Despite significant achievements, thediscipline of supply chain management is still unable to satisfactorily handlemany practical real-world challenges.  The authors of Networks AgainstTime claim that a unified supply chain network analytics framework isneeded which should be able to handle optimization and competitive behaviorwhile also maintain relevance to many industrial sectors in which perishableproducts are prominent, from healthcare to food and from fashion apparel totechnology. ThisBrief provides a wide range of critical supply chain problems which aremodeled as generalized networks. Guidelines are provided to determine the arcmultipliers that capture perish ability of the product whether food,radioisotopes, or even highly perishable blood in healthcare over space andtime. Through case studies the authors portray the application of the modelsand algorithms to real-world sectors which illustrate the power of theframework in practice. The models and algorithms are fully described along withthe input and output data in the case studies. This level of transparency isuseful pedagogically as well as for future research and for applications inpractice.Researchersand practitioners in mathematics, in operations research and managementscience, operations management, as well as in economics and computer sciencewill find this book useful to gain a broader appreciation of the richness ofnetwork supply chain structures, processes, and applications. This book canalso be used by advanced undergraduate students and graduate students in thedisciplines noted above to familiarize themselves with methodologies and supplychain network models and applications.​​

Recenzii

The structure of the book is very straightforward since all the chapters from 2 to 6 start by introducing the focus supply chain then unfold with the formulation of the model, the computational approach for its solution and the case study. The repetitive structure helps the reader to easily understand and connect the various parts of the book. Furthermore, each of these chapters ends with additional notes and links to other works about the supply chain at issue, as well as a rich and updated list of references, so that the content of the chapter can be related to and compared with the current state of the art. The level of mathematical formulation is adequate and all the presented formulas are explained in detail. Also, complete input and output data about case studies are presented.
In my opinion, this book is a valid contribution to the discipline of supply chain management in the time-sensitive product field because it provides a systematic and analytic framework of analysis which actually lacks in the existing literature.
