The proper management of transportation processes and issues is critical to fulfilling customer demand, and to the ultimate success of a supply chain. Now, there's an authoritative and comprehensive guide to managing transportation processes and operations in any supply chain. Authored by leading expert Thomas Goldsby alongside the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP), this text focuses on the key principles, strategies, and decisions required for the cost-efficient, effective flow of goods between sellers and buyers. Coverage includes: Basic transportation management concepts and their essential roles in demand fulfillment, including transportation links, efficiency, and aligning capabilities with customer requirements Key elements, processes, and interactions of transportation operations management, including transportation modes, execution, and control Design principles and strategies for establishing efficient, effective, and sustainable transportation operations, including functional control, terms of sale, outsourcing, modal and carrier selection, rate negotiation, contracting, consolidation, 3PLs, sustainability, and overcoming barriers to success The critical role of technology in managing transportation operations and product flows, including the latest TMS tools for routing, scheduling, load planning, carrier selection, load tendering, status tracking, appointment scheduling, performance reporting, scorecarding, and auditing Requirements and challenges of planning and moving goods between countries, including freight flows, intermodal options, planning/execution, ocean shipping and international air services; customs; global challenges, and regulation Best practices for assessing performance using standard metrics and frameworks, including KPIs, tradeoff analysis, and more
This textbook bridges the gap between lower-division mathematics courses and advanced mathematical thinking. Featuring clear writing and appealing topics, the book introduces techniques for writing proofs in the context of discrete mathematics. By illuminating the concepts behind techniques, the authors create opportunities for readers to sharpen critical thinking skills and develop mathematical maturity. Beginning with an introduction to sets and logic, the book goes on to establish the basics of proof techniques. From here, chapters explore proofs in the context of number theory, combinatorics, functions and cardinality, and graph theory. A selection of extension topics concludes the book, including continued fractions, infinite arithmetic, and the interplay among Fibonacci numbers, Pascal's triangle, and the golden ratio. A Discrete Transition to Advanced Mathematics is suitable for an introduction to proof course or a course in discrete mathematics. Abundant examples and exercises invite readers to get involved, and the wealth of topics allows for course customization and further reading. This new edition has been expanded and modernized throughout. New features include a chapter on combinatorial geometry, a more in-depth treatment of counting, and over 365 new exercises.
The Four Corners of Mathematics: A Brief History, from Pythagoras to Perelman describes the historical development of the ‘big ideas’ in mathematics in an accessible and intuitive manner. In delivering this bird's-eye view of the history of mathematics, the author uses engaging diagrams and images to communicate complex concepts while also exploring the details of the main results and methods of high-level mathematics. As such, this book involves some equations and terminology, but the only assumption on the readers’ knowledge is A-level or high school mathematics. Features Divided into four parts, covering Geometry, Algebra, Calculus and Topology Presents high-level mathematics in a visual and accessible way with numerous examples and over 250 illustrations Includes several novel and intuitive proofs of big theorems, so even the nonexpert reader can appreciate them Sketches of the lives of important contributors, with an emphasis on often overlooked female mathematicians and those who had to struggle.
