N2  - Supply Chain Management employs a strategic framework that identifies and illustrates facilities, inventory, transportation, information, sourcing and pricing as the key drivers of supply chain performance in order to help students understand what creates a competitive advantage. The concepts discussed in the text are supplemented with a variety of global examples that show how a combination of strategies is needed to achieve significant increases in performance. A strong coverage of analytic skills is also provided so that students can gauge the effectiveness of the techniques described in the text.  Salient Features
Case studies explain how companies are successfully using the key drivers of the supply chain. Several new mini-cases have been included throughout the text.
Key points in the chapters summarize the important concepts studied. Indian examples from Jaipur Rugs, Asian Paints, Simbhaoli Sugar, Subhiksha and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories contextualize discussions. This edition focuses on designing global supply chains and provides a detailed example that looks at the on-shoring/off-shoring decision as a real option in the context of uncertainty.
A new chapter on sustainability and the supply chain introduced in this edition helps students understand the role of sustainability, measure it and identify opportunities for improving it in the supply chain drivers.
