A number of examples\/stylized applications are included to help readers understand and apply the discussed concepts and theories to their own organizations. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book distinguishes between the control of production units and the control of goods flow between these units and the market and discusses various coordination and material supply control mechanisms relevant to supply chains.
