This book integrates theory with practice and aims to create a cross-functional mindset in students and practitioners. It provides a wide overview of relevant supply chain concepts and sets out the challenges that need to be overcome, in order to find practical ways of implementing these in a real company situation. Readers are continuously asked to reflect on the choices they make, thus experiencing first-hand the many challenges that good and effective supply chain management presents.

And it helped students who had no experience in supply chain management to understand the concept and to understand how things work together.” Read more here
