DESCRIPTION:
The authors emphasize the variety and complexity of issues and sub-problems surrounding distribution logistics as well as the limitations and scope of applicability of the proposed quantitative tools. Throughout the book, readers are provided with the quantitative approaches needed to handle real-life management problems, and areas of study include:Supply chain managementNetwork design and transportationDemand forecastingInventory control in single- and multi-echelon systemsIncentives in the supply chainVehicle routingComplete with extensive appendices on probability and statistics as well as mathematical programming, Introduction to Distribution Logistics is a valuable text for distribution logistics courses at both the advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate levels in a variety of disciplines, and prior knowledge of production planning is not assumed. The book also serves as a useful reference for practitioners

Cheng-Lung Chen said Good text for supply chain modeling and analysis. I occasionally found this book in the library and the content fits what I am learning in supply chain modeling & analyis course, which is not a management course but a quantitative-skill-emphasis course. I like the example the author provided, not only calculation but also with the management insights. If you are taking a quantitative supply chain course (normally offered in Industrial Engineering department rather than supply chain management department I guess) you can use this as a reference. It contains deterministic and stochastic EOQ, Risk pooling, Network models, location selection, forecasting and vehicle rout
