Reviews
From the reviews: This is an interesting book that shows how broad supply chain management (SCM) challenges can be modelled using system dynamics for sense making and quantitative input to decision making. It is suited to those in academia or industry wanting to understand how modelling can be applied to challenging business situations. It provides primers on key areas of SCM and shows through rich case study how to structure modelling work and experiment using models created. ! This is a well-structured book with valuable, detailed content. (Peter Ball, Production Planning & Control, 2011)
