From the Supply Chain Management Center at the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business, “In Real Time: Managing the New Supply Chain,” not only provides the makeup of the architecture of an Internet supply chain mega-portal and its interdependent layers, it also offers practical guidelines for meeting the challenges in moving to a new supply chain model.
“These tools will enable today’s business managers to realize the enormous benefits of the emerging Internet supply chain mega-portal, which allows online supply chains to connect customers, distributors manufacturers and suppliers in real time,” says Sandor Boyston, the book’s co-author. The two other authors are Lisa H. Harrington and Thomas M. Corsi.
