This book analyses the development of strategic supply chain modelling and its role in
optimising decision-making in business in relation to advances in technology and increased
demand due to globalisation. The authors examine existing supply chain models in order to
create a conceptual framework for a new diagnostic tool offering a useful realistic and
meaningful contribution to the field both theoretically and practically. Using the real-life
context of a major international automobile manufacturer this study satisfies the demand from
industry for guidance in the complex world of strategic supply chain modeling in the growing
logistics business sector. Readers of Strategic Supply Chain Management will find this work
instructive and informative and it will be of particular interest to students researchers and
policy-makers in the supply chain management industry.
