Description & Coverage
Description:

With the rise of global competitiveness among industries, it has become increasingly vital to develop novel strategies to assist in optimizing value-chain networks, thus helping to secure economic success. By employing engineer-to-order practices, many enterprises have improved their manufacturing processes.

Supply Chain Strategies and the Engineer-to-Order Approach evaluates innovative processes and original operational models, frameworks, and architectures in the topic areas of industrial engineering and management science. Featuring optimized enterprise chain management strategies and emergent research within the field, this book is an essential reference source for professional, academics, and researchers specializing in enterprise operations and engineer-to-order procedures.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Complex Product Development
  • Global Industrial Enterprises
  • Global Manufacturing
  • Industrial Engineering
  • Innovation Diffusion
  • Operational Architectures
  • Optimization Process
Reviews & Statements

The first three of the 11 contributions in the collection examine information systems as a key enabler in engineer-to-order supply chain management, industrial company communications with the “internal public” and customers, and communication network architectures for enhancing the supply chain competitive advantage. Other topics include collaborative supply chain modeling of a South African construction project, the European ceramic tile industry supply chain, hybrid supply chain models in the wind business, risk management within the collaborative business network, and dual demand management strategies.
