In addition, the book presents state-of-the-art research reflecting the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, and emerging, fast-paced developments in the digitalization of supply chain and operations management.

Providing readers with a working knowledge of global supply chain and operations management, with a focus on bridging the gap between theory and practice, this textbook can be used in core, specialized, and advanced classes alike. It is intended for a broad range of students and professionals in supply chain and operations management.

The book presents the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of innovative medicine facilities, as presented by architects and engineers at the International Scientific and Practical Conference Engineering, Construction and Infrastructure Solutions for Innovative Medicine Facilities, held in St. Petersburg, Russia, on May 19-21, 2021. It covers a wide diversity of topics, including the global challenges of our time and the challenges of developing the infrastructure of innovative medicine; current issues of engineering and construction of medical facilities during the pandemic; current issues of engineering and construction of biomedical research infrastructure; formation and development of a comfortable environment for the protection of public health; biological and environmental safety in the engineering, construction and technical operation of biomedical facilities. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, highlight numerous exciting ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaborations.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of recent developments in network dynamics and control with applications to supply chains, manufacturing and logistics systems. It systemizes these developments in the form of new taxonomies and methodological principles to shape the research domain of supply network dynamics control. Uniquely, the book links the fundamentals of control and system theories and artificial intelligence with supply chain and operations management. It addresses the needs of researchers and practitioners alike, revealing the challenges and opportunities of supply chain and operations management by means of dynamic system analysis.

Dieses Buch bietet eine prägnante und dennoch umfassende Einführung in die Resilienz von Lieferketten, die Management-, Modellierungs- und Technologieperspektiven abdeckt. Es wurde als Begleitlektüre zum Lehrbuch "Global Supply Chain and Operations Management" konzipiert und befasst sich eingehender mit den Themen Risiken und Widerstandsfähigkeit von Lieferketten, beschreibt die wichtigsten Merkmale der Widerstandsfähigkeit von Lieferketten und erläutert Methoden zur Abschwächung von Unterbrechungen der Lieferkette und zur Wiederherstellung. Zur Veranschaulichung der theoretischen Konzepte werden zahlreiche praktische Beispiele und kurze Fallstudien angeführt. Ohne sich stark auf mathematische Ableitungen zu stützen, erklärt das Buch die wichtigsten Konzepte und Methoden zum Aufbau und zur Verbesserung der Widerstandsfähigkeit von Lieferketten und zur Bewältigung von Risiken bei Unterbrechungen der Lieferkette in einem einfachen, einheitlichen Format, das Studenten und Fachleuten mit Management- und Ingenieurhintergrund das Verständnis erleichtert. Doktoranden und Supply-Chain-Fachleute profitieren gleichermaßen von der strukturierten, didaktisch orientierten und prägnanten Darstellung der Konzepte, Prinzipien und Methoden des Supply-Chain-Resilience-Managements, der Modellierung und der technologischen Umsetzung.

The book offers a concise yet comprehensive introduction to supply chain analytics covering management, modeling, and technology perspectives. Designed to accompany the textbook “Global Supply Chain and Operations Management”, it addresses the topics of supply chain analytics in more depth. 

The book describes descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive supply chain analytics explaining methodologies, illustrating method applications with the use of training exercises, and providing numerous examples in AnyLogic and anyLogistix software. Throughout the book, numerous practical examples and short case studies are given to illustrate theoretical concepts. Along with AnyLogic and anyLogistix model development guidelines and examples, the book has two other distinct features. First, it reviews and explains novel frameworks and concepts related to data-driven decision-making and digital twins. Second, it shows how to use analytics to improve supply chain resilience.

Without relying heavily on mathematical derivations, the book offers a structured presentation and explanation of major supply chain analytics techniques and principles in a simple, predictable format to make it easy to understand for students and professionals with both management and engineering backgrounds. Graduate/Ph.D. students and supply chain professionals alike would benefit from a structured and didactically-oriented concise presentation of the concepts, principles, and methods of supply chain analytics. Providing graduate students and supply chain managers with working knowledge of basic and advanced supply chain analytics, this book contributes to improving knowledge-awareness of decision-making in increasingly data-driven and digital environments. The book is supplemented by a companion website offering interactive exercises with the use of AnyLogic and anyLogistix software as well as Spreadsheet Modeling.

This book highlights the major features of the ripple effect and introduces methodologies to mitigate its adverse impact on supply chain resilience and to recover from severe disruptions. It brings fresh insights into the fields of supply chain management and engineering, addressing three fundamental questions: “In what circumstance does one failure trigger others?” “Which supply chain structures are especially susceptible to the ripple effect?” “What are the typical ripple effect scenarios and the most efficient ways to respond to them?”

In this new edition, recent advancements are incorporated, particularly in areas such as supply chain viability, digital supply chains, artificial intelligence, and epidemiological models. Furthermore, it introduces new methodologies with a particular emphasis on data-driven and AI-based approaches.

This comprehensive book provides innovative optimization and simulation models to address real-world challenges. With examples from industrial and service sectors, it offers actionable decision-making recommendations for tackling disruption risks in the supply chain proactively and reactively. As such the book is a comprehensive source for diverse readerships.
