From the reviews:



"The authors of 'Supply Chain Analysis' collected twelve academic articles that discuss specific branches (supermarkets, chemicals, cosmetics, containers, clothing and second-hand goods) and that view topical themes ... in a academic and sometimes mathematical context. Every chapter is, in fact, a well thought-out article about subjects that really ... should, take up an entire book by themselves. ... this book is successful initiative towards taking a more scientific approach to supply chain management, without losing track of practical usefulness." (Supply Chain Movement, October, 2009)

"'Supply Chain Analysis: A Handbook on the Interaction of Information, System and Optimisation' is an informative and wide-ranging collection of supply chain analysis research in line with Springer's series of titles on this subject. ... Several chapters use more descriptive and qualitative investigation techniques to covey the issues of their particular problem. A number of studies combine both approaches in a very informative way. ... it is an interesting collection for those interested in the analysis of supply chains." (H. Daly, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 61, 2010)
