ABSTRACT

A broad vision of supply chain management is necessary to implement European distribution successfully. European Distribution and Supply Chain Logistics focuses on logistics in the European region.

This book discusses proven concepts and do's & don'ts for European distribution, as well as for supply chain logistics across three clusters:

  • Distribution and supply chain management
  • Fundamentals of European distribution logistics
  • Demand and supply chain management

 

Each chapter starts with an awareness case and ends with fifteen questions for discussion, a real life case and five reflecting questions. Based on this formula the book is well-suited for students and practitioners in the area of logistics and supply chain management.
