Guidelines for Written Case Analyses:
The reports are graded for both content and report presentation. The purpose behind each case is to use the tools, concepts, and techniques studied to help the organization make a business decision.
The report should be written as if the group has been tasked by the organization to provide a recommendation for the organization to adopt.
A good paper should clearly and succinctly state the recommendations in the first paragraph to set the stage for the reader. The questions listed on the case should be used as a guide to structure the report. Facts in the case need not to be restated unless they are used to make a specific point. The report should NOT be a Question & Answer format where each question is listed and answered. Instead, the report represents your analysis of the situation and the rationale for your recommendation.
The analysis to support your recommendation should consider the advantages and the potential pitfalls of adopting it. The analysis explains the “why” of your recommendation. In some cases, your rationale ad logic behind the analysis is more important than the course of action that you have selected. An adequate analysis is a time consuming and intellectually challenging task. Guided by the case questions, the objective is to evaluate a complete range of alternatives and discuss the consequences of your recommendation.
Reports should be typed with 1.5 line-spacing and should not exceed 5 pages, not including appendices and exhibits. Exhibits appended to the reports need not be typed, but should be neat and easy to understand.

Preface
This book is targeted toward an academic as well as a practitioner audience. On the academic side,
it is appropriate for MBA students, engineering master’s students, and senior undergraduate students
interested in supply chain management and logistics. It can also serve as a suitable reference for
both concepts as well as providing a methodology for practitioners in consulting and industry.
New to this Edition
The seventh edition has focused on changes that enhance students’ ability to sharpen their critical
thinking and data analytics skills as they study with the book. All concepts discussed in the book are
linked to strategic decision making in a supply chain, and all quantitative ideas are illustrated using
spreadsheets that can be implemented in practice. Some specific changes in the seventh edition
include:
The link between supply chain decisions and the financial performance of a firm is developed in
detail in Chapter 3.
The concepts underlying the design of distribution networks are illustrated in the context of omni-
channel retailing in Chapter 4. The evolution of retailing is used throughout the book to illustrate
the link between supply chain concepts and strategic decision making in a supply chain.
Each section of each chapter in the book is associated with a clearly identified learning objective
that is summarized at the end of the section.
We have added new mini-cases in Chapters 5, 8, and 15. Information in other cases has been
updated to be current.
New exercises have been added in several chapters.
For all numerical examples discussed in the book, we have developed spreadsheets that
students can use to understand the concept at a deeper level. These spreadsheets are referred
to in the book and allow the student to try different “what-if” analyses. These spreadsheets are
available at www.pearsonhighered.com/chopra along with basic guidance on how they may be
created and used.
We have continued to add current examples throughout the book, with a particular focus on
bringing in more global examples.
Solving Teaching and Learning Challenges
To be successful, supply chain practitioners must be able to formulate effective supply chain strategy
and be able to solve any resulting supply chain problems using the available analytical tools. In a
supply chain class this creates the challenge of teaching students to think strategically while
supporting their decisions with robust quantitative analysis. This book is designed to help faculty and
students overcome this challenge through its conceptual and pedagogical structure. Conceptually,
the book aims to develop an understanding of the following key areas and their interrelationships:
The strategic role of a supply chain
The key strategic drivers of supply chain performance
Analytic methodologies for supply chain analysis
To illustrate the strategic importance of good supply chain management, we provide many current
examples to show how companies have succeeded through effective supply chain management or
http://www.pearsonhighered.com/chopra
failed because of weak supply chain management. Our strategic framework, the use of Excel-based
models to explain analytic methodologies, and several mini-cases to help students internalize the
link between the analytic methodologies and strategic decision making provide pedagogical support
for faculty using the book.
A Consistent Strategic Framework
Within the strategic framework, we identify facilities, inventory, transportation, information, sourcing,
and pricing as the key drivers of supply chain performance. The book is structured to dig deeper into
each driver to understand its role in the success of a supply chain, its interaction with other drivers,
analytic methodologies to support decisions related to the driver, and managerial levers related to
the driver that help improve supply chain performance.
Every analytic methodology is illustrated with its application in Excel. Students have access to the
associated Excel file along with instructions to construct and use the file. The Excel files help
students deepen their understanding of the link between the analytic models and the strategic
decisions they support.
Mini Cases
Most chapters have mini cases that can be used by faculty to ensure that students can apply the
concepts and methodologies in the context of strategic decision making for a business.
Developing Career Skills
Skills learned in this book will be of great use no matter what path students choose to follow. The
book is developed with the premise that good strategic decisions cannot be made without access to
relevant analytics, and all analytics should be designed to support decision making. As a result,
students will develop critical thinking, the ability to formulate and analyze problems, and support their
recommendations with analytics that uses data literacy and computing skills.
Every chapter in the book pushes students to think critically in order to define and solve supply
chain problems. For example, Chapter 4 develops a framework for distribution networks and then
pushes students to think about how retailing may evolve in the future as consumer preferences
and technology change. The first part of the chapter teaches frameworks and concepts related to
the design of distribution networks. The last part of the chapter then pushes the students to
analyze retailing by applying the knowledge they have gained in order to decide how retailers
need to change in order to succeed in the 21 century.
All the analytics in the book are developed through the use of Microsoft Excel. This helps
students develop data literacy, computing skills, and the knowledge of how to apply information
technology to support decision making. The analytics that are developed in these chapters in turn
support the framework laid out in Chapter 4. Whereas Chapter 4 helps students to think
conceptually about why certain retailing models have succeeded for selling jewelry while others
have failed, the succeeding chapters help students quantify financial metrics for different retail
networks. As a result, students learn how to use data and models to improve strategic decision
making.

In this chapter, we provide a conceptual understanding of what a supply chain is
and the various issues that must be considered when designing, planning, or
operating a supply chain. We identify the goal of a supply chain and discuss the
significance of supply chain decisions for the success of a firm. We also provide
several examples from different industries to emphasize the variety of supply
chain issues and decisions that companies need to consider at the strategic,
planning, and operational levels.
