Several influence factors, such as globalization of markets, integration of activities from product ordering to payments, diversified requirements of client requests concerning product personalization and lower prices, increased pressure of stakeholders for enterprise profitability have led, over the latest decades, to new directions of academic research and practical actions. These may be grouped under the common heading “Supply chain engineering and management’ (SCEM). This domain has been steadily and rapidly got the interest of both academia people and industry managers and knowledge workers. This book is meant to make a balanced review of several standard well established methods together with a survey of new research results in modeling aspects (e.g. “stochastic dynamic pricing”), advanced technologies (e.g. ”radio frequency identification - RFID), manufacturing organization paradigms (e.g. “reconfigurable manufacturing systems - RMS”).
