Overview
Takes an interdisciplinary approach to supply chain configuration problems that integrates complex modeling and analysis techniques drawn from systems science, management science, decision sciences, operations research, systems engineering, industrial engineering, and information systems
Introduces an illustrative supply chain configuration case study, which is further elaborated in subsequent chapters
Emphasizes methods and techniques for diversification of supply chains and improving their resilience in the presence of shock events
