Preface
KEY CHANGES IN THE SEVENTH EDITION
This book is known for its decision orientation and case studies. We have strengthened the
decision-making framework by addressing new decisions in sourcing, logistics, sustainability,
and global supply chains. We also added new cases to address these decisions.
1. Supply Chain Management. This edition added a new section on Supply
Chain. It contains two new chapters on Sourcing and Global Logistics. The Sourcing
chapter contains material on sourcing goals, outsourcing, offshoring, reshoring, supply
base optimization, the purchasing cycle, and scorecard weighting. The Global Logistics
chapter contains material on the role of logistics, transportation modes, distribution
centers, logistics networks,
location, third-party logistics, and logistics strategy. In
addition, the Supply Chain Management chapter was moved to this section and updated
to add a new section on supply chain risk and another new section on supply
chain sustainability. This edition now has the latest and best supply chain material
available.
2. Sustainability. More emphasis is given to sustainability. It is now covered in the chapters
on The Operations Function, Operations and Supply Chain Strategy, Process Selection, and
Supply Chain Management. A new case study is added on Murphy Warehouse: Sustainable
Logistics.
3. Global. More material is provided on global operations and supply chains. With the
addition of the Sourcing and Global Logistics chapters, global emphasis now moves
beyond
operations to the entire supply chain. New material on outsourcing, offshoring, and
managing global supply chains has been added. New cases on global sourcing, global plant
location, and global logistics are added.
