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.
