Description

Supply Chain Analytics is a structured collation of important analytical tools and techniques that specifically addresses critical decision areas in warehousing, inventory, and transportation in supply chain management, which are mostly available in some technical academic papers and proceedings of conferences and so will be very helpful to find them all in one book. This book explains various practical application methods in a lucid manner so that any student with basic understanding of Decision Sciences will be able to understand popular analytical tools and techniques useful in supply chain management areas.
