Agro-industrial supply chain management: concepts and applications
This publication was conceived as an introduction to the discipline of Supply Chain Management (SCM), with particular reference to the agro-industrial domain. It introduces fundamental SCM concepts and illustrates them with selected agrifood related cases from different regions of the developing and developed world. SCM concepts are already consolidated as an essential part of modern management thinking. Its tools and techniques have helped companies in traditional areas such as manu facturing and retailing to achieve unprecedented levels of operational performance and efficiency in transaction coordination with suppliers and customers. Yet, the discipline is still rather incipient in the agrifood domain. While managerial literature abounds with textbooks and publications about SCM in general, publications specific to agrifood enterprises are few and far between. The present publication represents a contribution to fill this gap.
