Hierarchical and Supply Chain Planning describes the application of hierarchical planning techniques to all major functional areas of supply chain planning, including production, distribution, warehousing, transportation, inventory management, forecasting and performance management.The book reviews well-known, original hierarchical production planning techniques and implementations dating back several decades and numerous more current hierarchical planning methods and applications covering an array of supply chain activities. A number of novel hierarchical planning techniques and algorithms covering different components of supply chain planning are offered as is an original approach for integrating supply chain measurements into systems such as the balanced scorecard which evaluate total firm performance.The book covers the interests of private industry practitioners, academic researchers, and students of operations, logistics and supply chain management and planning.

This book emphasizes the interdependence of the location, production and distribution decisions made by a firm operating over a network. It examines why and how a firm must evaluate the link between these interdependent decisions and the equilibrium conditions on the network where it locates. As part of the development and presentation of location paradigms under alternative market structures, this book provides a primer on algorithmic approaches to solving equilibrium-constrained facility location models. This includes an extensive introduction to the theory and methods of nonlinear sensitivity analysis applied to equilibrium-constrained facility location models, as well as an introduction to interdisciplinary modeling approaches combining classical operations research techniques and microeconomics.
