ABSTRACT
In the five years since the first edition of this Handbook, the author and contributors wrote of
Supply Chain Project Management
.
The book draws on best practices in project management from the Project Management Institute (PMI) and applies them to the supply chain management, what is called an “application area” for project management. Much work these days takes the form of short bursts of activity with an end to the activity in sight, rather than jobs entailing the same activities every day. This type of work is called “project work” and requires its own ways of managing. Examples of other project management application areas include construction, new product development, and implementing a software application.
