The same was true for logistics management, although its precursor, distribution management, was increasingly being recognised as important, both in terms of cost and for its potential impact on sales. In the intervening years from the first to the fourth edition, many things have happened. Firstly, there is now a much greater understanding of the role that supply chain management plays in creating competitive advantage. Whereas previously the focus was primarily tactical with a concern for optimising costs, now there is much more of a strategic focus with the emphasis on value creation and delivery. The second major change is the recognition that supply chain management is not just an extension of logistics management, but rather that it is about managing relationships across the complex networks that today's supply chains have become. A third significant change over that period is that the business environment has become a lot more volatile and hence less predictable. This transition from a relatively stable world to one that is much more turbulent requires supply chains to be capable of changing rapidly to meet changed circumstances. These changes are reflected in the additional material included in this 4th edition. Thus, complexity management and the challenge of making the transition from a forecast-driven to a demand-driven business model are given greater emphasis. This book is a classic textbook for many Universities in the field of “Logistics and Supply Chain Management” in which shipping of goods by whatever means is involved.

Description:
According to the preface made by the author, when the first edition of this book was published in 1992, supply chain management as an idea was still in its infancy and relatively few companies had made it a priority.
The same was true for logistics management, although its precursor, distribution management, was increasingly being recognised as important, both in terms of cost and for its potential impact on sales.
In the intervening years from the first to the fourth edition, many things have happened.
Firstly, there is now a much greater understanding of the role that supply chain management plays in creating competitive advantage. Whereas previously the focus was primarily tactical with a concern for optimising costs, now there is much more of a strategic focus with the emphasis on value creation and delivery.
The second major change is the recognition that supply chain management is not just an extension of logistics management, but rather that it is about managing relationships across the complex networks that today's supply chains have become.
A third significant change over that period is that the business environment has become a lot more volatile and hence less predictable.
This transition from a relatively stable world to one that is much more turbulent requires supply chains to be capable of changing rapidly to meet changed circumstances.
These changes are reflected in the additional material included in this 4th edition.
Thus, complexity management and the challenge of making the transition from a forecast-driven to a demand-driven business model are given greater emphasis.
This book is a classic textbook for many Universities in the field of “Logistics and Supply Chain Management” in which shipping of goods by whatever means is involved.
