Many important research fi ndings and results had been achieved. This book presents a collection of recent con- tributions from the worldwide researchers in the fi eld of supply chain management. It is aimed at providing new ideas, original results and practical experiences regarding this highly up-to-date area. Research work of supply chain management involves all activities and processes in- cluding planning, coordination, operation, control and optimization of the whole sup- ply chain system. To make it convenient for readers to fi nd interesting topics, content of this book was structured into three technical research parts with total of 27 chapters wri en by well recognized researchers worldwide. In part one, Management Method and Its Application, the editor hopes to give readers new methods and innovative ideas about supply chain management. Chapters about supply chain coordination were put into part two, Coordination. The third part, Modeling and Analysis, is thematically more diverse, it covers accepted works about description and analysis of all supply chain management areas. I am very honored to be editing such a valuable book, which contains contributions of a selected group of researchers presenting the best of their work. The editor truly hopes the book will be helpful for researchers, scientists, engineers and students who are involved in supply chain management. Although it represents only a small sample of the research activity on supply chain management, the book will certainly serve as a valuable tool for researchers interested in ge ing involved in this multidisciplinary fi eld. Further discussions on the contents of this book are warmly welcome. Finally, the editor would like to thank all the people who contributed to this book, in particular Ms. Iva Lipovic, for indispensable technical assistance in book publishing.
