Contributions describe the new issues, models, techniques for analysis, and computational methods that have been developed during this golden age of Operations Management. The 26 chapters fall into six categories: basic concepts and technical material (provides mathematical background and algorithmic tools to solve operational problems in supply chains); supply contracts (focuses on design and evaluation); value of information (models the effect of information on decision making and on supply chain performance); managing product variety (analyzes the effects of product variety and various management strategies); international operations; and conceptual issues and new challenges.
