<p><b>WINNER: </b><i>Choice Reviews - Outstanding Academic Title, 2024</i><br><b><br>The traditional linear supply chain is no longer fit for purpose, and organizations must redesign their supply chains to become more customer-driven, agile, resilient and sustainable.</b><br><b><br><i>Supply Chain Network Design</i></b> shows how to design intelligent, agile supply chain networks in the age of geopolitical disruptions, fast-paced technological innovation and drive for more sustainable business.

It also explores how to harness technologies such as robotic process automation, AI and machine-driven intelligence and the evolution of forecasting to demand sensing to enhance network design.<br><br>Taking a global perspective, <b><i>Supply Chain Network Design</i></b> is supported by practical cases and examples and provides a consumer-driven lens that will help organizations evolve their networks from a traditional B2B to a B2B2C workflow.
