This 3rd edition of Supply Chain Management presents a comprehensive view of various aspects of supply chain management. This edition is positioned to serve two audiences: the MBA and senior student in a business programme and the professional working in industry who wishes to gain a deeper understanding of supply chain management and logistics especially in an Indian context. The new edition provides an overview of concepts as well as intensive material for analysis and training in the area that has come to be known as Supply Chain Management into sixteen chapters. A special feature of the book is the collection of detailed cases. All cases are situated in the Indian business environment, as it makes a transition from traditional business practices to new ones in an arena of global competition. This attempts to fill a stated gap in the academic and business literature in the area. The cases are all drawn from real organisations and many are presented with actual data and descriptions that provide a realistic picture of issues in supply chain management.
