Using strategic supply chain network design, companies can achieve dramatic savings from their supply chains. Now, experts at IBM and Northwestern University have brought together both the rigorous principles and the practical applications you need to master. You’ll learn how to use supply chain network design to select the right number, location, territory, and size of warehouses, plants, and production lines; and optimize the flow of all products through your supply chain even if extends around the globe. The authors present better ways to decide what to manufacture internally, where to make these products, which products to outsource, and which suppliers to use. They guide you in more effectively managing tradeoffs such as cost vs. service level, improving operational decision-making by integrating analytics throughout supply chain management; and re-optimizing regularly for even greater savings. Supply Chain Network Design combines best practices, the latest methods in optimization and analytics, and cutting-edge case studies: everything you need to maximize the value of supply chain network design. For all supply chain executives, managers, strategists, and analysts; and for all students, instructors, and researchers in advanced supply chain management and/or logistics courses.

Free Supply Chain Network Design: Applying Optimization and Analytics to the Global Supply Chain
This book is very practical and informative. It teaches you to think strategically about supply chain, which you can more or less apply to other areas of operations research. It does not really teach you how to solve the optimization problems using the hardcore math and complex algorithms, but, at least in my opinion, it is more geared toward helping real-world managers tackle how to design a supply chain and the various issues that need to be taken into consideration.
This book is for practitioners, not really for graduate students who need to see all the math associated with solving an optimization problem.
Highly recommended for OR practitioners!

The whole book is based in the concept of trade-offs in a supply chain as a main design guide, instead of detailed technical considerations regarding network theory. This book is perfect for people designing a supply chain from a bussiness perspective and draws a clear methodology to accomplish this task. Very recomended.
