The second edition of this textbook comprehensively discusses global supply-chain and operations management, combining value creation networks and interacting processes. It focuses on the operational roles in the networks and presents the quantitative and organizational methods needed to plan and control the material, information and financial flows in the supply chain. Each chapter starts with an introductory case study, and numerous examples from various industries and services help to i...

This textbook introduces readers to the principles of business process and supply chain simulation modeling using the AnyLogic multimethod simulation software. However, the book is not a software manual; instead, it reinforces the fundamental concepts of process analysis and supply chain management through simulation models while simultaneously teaching the process of simulation modeling. Complex statistical and mathematical derivations are kept to a minimum, while managerial decision-maki...

This book offers an introduction to structural dynamics, ripple effect and resilience in supply chain disruption risk management for larger audiences. In the management section, without relying heavily on mathematical derivations, the book offers state-of-the-art concepts and methods to tackle supply chain disruption risks and designing resilient supply chains in a simple, predictable format to make it easy to understand for students and professionals with both management and engineering b...

The book presents the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of innovative medicine facilities, as presented by architects and engineers at the International Scientific and Practical Conference Engineering, Construction and Infrastructure Solutions for Innovative Medicine Facilities, held in St. Petersburg, Russia, on May 19-21, 2021. It covers a wide diversity of topics, including the global challenges of our time and the challenges of developing the infrastructure of...

This book highlights the major features of the ripple effect and introduces methodologies to mitigate its adverse impact on supply chain resilience and to recover from severe disruptions. It brings fresh insights into the fields of supply chain management and engineering, addressing three fundamental questions: “In what circumstance does one failure trigger others?” “Which supply chain structures are especially susceptible to the ripple effect?” “What are the typical ripple effect scenario...

This book offers an introduction to the ripple effect in the supply chain for a broad audience comprising recent developments. The chapters of this handbook are written by leading experts in supply chain risk management and resilience. For the first time, the chapters present in their synergy a multiple-faceted view of the ripple effect in supply chains, while considering organization, optimization, and informatics perspectives.Ripple effect describes the impact of a disruption pro...

A warning is owed before anything else: this is an antisemitic tract, and this edition reprints it as evidence, with an introduction that says so plainly and at length.Caution: Zionism! is one of the founding texts of the campaign the Soviet state launched after the Six-Day War of June 1967 under the banner of anti-Zionism. Under cover of anti-imperialism it constructs a conspiracy theory - an invisible transnational power, an "international Zionist concern" run "from a single cent...
