Starting from the concept that 'there is no point driving a Ferrari in a traffic jam' Ron Basu provides practical tools and techniques of good supply chain management to add value deliver cost reduction and improve customer satisfaction. This new edition specifically focuses on seven contemporary challenges that have affected global supply chain management. Recent disruptions to global supply chains created by COVID-19 and the Ukraine conflict have resulted in significant geographical shifts in supply and demand. High inflation and the cost of living crisis have in turn created problems for finely-tuned global supply chains. The economic and business environment has also become more demanding due in part to political pressures including nationalism and Brexit: for example supply chain pressures caused by Brexit have resulted in increased red tape. Other factors have had a gradual and positive effect such as climate change initiatives Industry 4. 0 and the digital revolution. The issues that affect the performance of global supply chains are sometimes interrelated but all of them really matter because businesses have become increasingly global. This book addresses these challenges and explores how to deal with them. In addition there are new and updated chapters on lean and agile supply chains e-business emerging markets sustainability and green issues global supply chains for services and event management retail management and major project management.

Food Provisions for Ancient Rome A Supply Chain Approach

Food Provisions for Ancient Rome A Supply Chain Approach

This book defines the processes used for delivering a range of food items to the city of Rome and its hinterland from the first century AD using modern supply chain modelling techniques. The subject matter delves into the wider supply of goods such as wood and building products to add further perspective to the breadth of the system managed by the Roman administration to ensure supply and political stability. It assesses the impact of strategic changes such as the introduction of water-powered milling technology and restructuring of the annona in this period as well as administrative reforms. Evidence from ancient sources both literary and epigraphic along with relevant archaeological comparative evidence is used to develop a detailed supply model including the mapping of warehouse management systems; port and river traffic co-ordination; quality control mechanisms and administrative structures. Unlike other contemporary studies this model takes into consideration supply chain losses to correct the erroneous assumption that supply is equal to consumption. A product flow map from the source of supply to the consumer details the labour equipment and infrastructure required at each stage painting a graphic picture of just what an achievement it was for the administration to have maintained such a complex system over this long time period. Food Provisions for Ancient Rome provides an in depth exploration of this topic that will be of interest to anyone working on the city of Rome under the empire as well as those interested in imperial administration and logistics. | Food Provisions for Ancient Rome A Supply Chain Approach

Institutional Innovation and Change in Value Chain Development Negotiating tradition power and fragility in Afghanistan

Institutional Innovation and Change in Value Chain Development Negotiating tradition power and fragility in Afghanistan

George Bernard Shaw once said that reasonable people adapt themselves to the world but unreasonable people adapt the world to themselves. In a sense this book explores how these so-called ‘unreasonable people’ may interact to re-fashion the world around them in fragile economic development. Drawing on empirical research in the volatile and traditional context of Afghanistan the study investigates the challenge of poor women’s participation in business and diverse outcomes for local development. Institutional Innovation and Change in Value Chain Development takes a unique look at nuanced institutional phenomena through the lens of social institutions with a subtle appreciation of the interaction of structure and agency. Drawing on in-depth qualitative research in Afghanistan the case studies specifically investigate the transformation of the women’s norm of purdah and the subsequent development of new market institutions in three women’s enterprises. Shedding new light on the opaque process of institutional change the research shows that external actors (such as NGOs) can both initiate and guide institutional development in fragile environments. Yet there may be limitations to their endeavours with strong resistance from local power holders. Meanwhile dominant entrepreneurs are shown to play a major role in fostering institutional development pathways. This influences the scope of inclusion and exclusion in enterprise and value chains and broader streams of socio-economic development. | Institutional Innovation and Change in Value Chain Development Negotiating tradition power and fragility in Afghanistan
