Abstract
This chapter aims to present an overview of the basic concepts in supply chain management. The main domains of supply chain management and the required specifications of each approach for analyzing each strategic issue have been reviewed. In this chapter, the following reviews have been done:
-
Lean and agile supply chain management separately and in combination.
-
The application of operations management and operations research in supply chain management.
-
The relationship between quality engineering techniques and supply chain management elements.
-
The studies assessment related to the impact of supply chain management on the triple main goals (uncertainty, productivity, and sustainability).
In the next step, the last advanced models in lean and agile supply chain management have been reviewed. Finally, after expressing the research questions, the most important issues of the project have been declared (research novelties), and the application of quality engineering techniques to achieve the triple main goals for the direct or indirect format has been defined. The research frame related to the novelty of the project has been added at the end of this chapter.
