Abstract

The previous two chapters highlight the magnitude of the supply chain configuration problem. Before starting with the description of models and tools available for solving the identified problems, a systematic approach for dealing with the configuration problem is laid out in this chapter. A systematic approach defined by a methodology would facilitate binding together different aspects of the configuration problem and provide problem-solving guidelines.
