The methodology leads to metrics, process designs, system designs, and organizational strategies for total supply chain management, total logistics management, customer response, inventory planning and management, supply, transportation, and warehousing. Concise yet complete, Dr. Frazelle’s book shows how to develop a comprehensive logistics and supply chain strategy, one that will both complement and support a company’s strategic objectives and long-term success.
