Designing the Supply Chain with a Quality Perspective. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, June 2008, Pages: 120
Due to the complexity of the supply chain, sourcing and distribution activities within
the supply chain require a fair deal of orchestrating in order to eliminate delays and
other inefficiencies. Also with many industries today on the quest of improving their
quality systems, finding ways to reduce nonconformities and failure of products is
crucial. This work aims at the modeling, analysis, and design of supply chain networks
with the integration of quality costing functions. The work explores the concept of
supply chain network design and evaluates the global emergence of a real need for
designing the supply chain as to optimize all operations it encompasses. The work
evaluates the emergence of stronger relationships between suppliers, manufactures, and
distributors and the surfacing of the concept of supply chain integration. The work
introduces a supply chain model that integrates cost of quality and utilizes an aerospace
example to assess the practical implications.
