Proven Solutions for Improving Supply Chain Performance
C. Carl Pegels University of Buffalo A volume in the series: The Proven Solutions Series. Series Editor: C. Carl Pegels, University of Buffalo. Proven Solutions for Improving Supply Chain Performance is a collection of about 175 descriptions of scientific management studies in the management of supply chains. Each one of the descriptions of the scientific studies is presented in readable and understandable form for individuals who probably have not had the statistical and scientific education and training to fully understand the underlying studies. The book is significantly different from the popular management literature, which is generally based on “armchair” theories that have little basis on fact, and seldom have been scientifically verified.
