Manufacturing Processes and Supply Chain Management (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781647285210)

Supply chain management (SCM) involves the management of the flow of goods or supplies through the different stages of a production cycle. All organizations that execute projects or produce goods (or provide services) use SCM. Its main function is to ensure a steady flow of resources required for a project or production activities. An efficient supply chain is essential for organizations of all types. However, it is extremely essential for manufacturing businesses. The factors which make supply chain management important for the manufacturing industry include increased complexity of the products; shift in brand behavior due to which they no longer build their own products; and the enhanced use of technology in the manufacturing processes. Due to these factors, manufacturers must have an efficient SCM system. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the field of supply chain management with a specific focus on the manufacturing processes. It consists of contributions made by international experts. The book will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.
