Features: This book is a specialized work on supply chain models and optimization problems. Supply chain management has become an important management model for modern enterprises, and the modeling and optimization analysis of supply chain management have expanded new directions in the fields of management science and systems engineering. Based on a review of the theory and methods of supply chain management, this book analyzes and studies two types of models and optimization problems in supply chain management: local coordination and overall integration. In the local coordination problems of supply chain management models, it discusses issues such as supply chain costs and pricing, supply chain channel pricing, ordering in a JIT environment, supply chain management strategies under asymmetric information, and quality supervision and quality control. In the overall integration problems of supply chain management models, it discusses issues such as supply chain flexibility management models and optimization, integrated models and optimization, the bullwhip effect, inventory management and supplier inventory management strategies in the context of supply chain management. Finally, it provides comments and prospects on supply chain models and their optimization analysis. The main features of this book are the combination of theoretical research and practical problems, as well as the integration of production operations and system optimization. This book is suitable as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of management science and systems engineering; it is also suitable as a reference for university teachers, research institution staff, economic management department personnel, and especially senior management personnel in enterprise production operations management.
