Supply Chain Management and Advanced Planning

Abstract

What makes this book different from others in the field? First, the material presented is based on our experiences gained by actually using and implementing APS. Furthermore, we have tried to extract the essence from three leading APS and to generalize the results—instead of merely reporting what is possible in a single APS. Second, this book is not just a collection of papers from researchers who have come together at a single conference and published the resultant conference proceedings. Instead we have structured the area of SCM and Advanced Planning into those topics relevant for turning APS successfully into practice.
