Logistics and Supply Chain Management (SCM) are the areas of study
which help us to explore and answer these questions. Today they play a
very important role in underpinning the success of many organisations
across the public and private sectors and impact how we live our
lives. While the origins of logistics and SCM are firmly embedded in
the manufacturing domain, the successful applications of logistics and
SCM principles and practices are becoming increasingly relevant in the
services area also – see for example, the many changes that have
recently been driven into healthcare systems and airlines. Global
Logistics and Supply Chain Management, now in its third edition,
provides essential reading for anybody studying SCM and logistics.
Encompassing both practical and strategic perspectives, it takes a
truly global perspective, recognising the transnational nature of
logistics activities in today’s world. Key features of this new and
extended third edition include: 18 up-to-date chapters on all aspects
of logistics and SCM, including coverage of emerging and important
topics such as security, technology and automation in logistics,
supply chain data flows, logistics and the internet of everything,
sustainability, supply chain vulnerability and trade facilitation. New
chapters include one on management science applications, which
provides an easy and clear introduction to key quantitative techniques
that can be applied to logistics and SCM. 12 updated case studies,
including new case studies on air cargo, port–city logistics,
automobile manufacturing logistics and logistics infrastructure
appraisal. A comprehensive package of supplementary material is
available on the accompanying website at www.wiley.com/college/mangan,
including an Instructor’s Manual, PowerPoint slides and case
teaching notes for lecturers, as well as quizzes and an online
glossary for students.
