Supply Chain Performance

Collaboration, Alignment and Coordination

This book presents a series of studies on collaborative practices and their impact on supply chain performance. Part I emphasizes conceptual frameworks to portray the relationship between collaboration and performance. Part II raises the question of information systems alignment to manage the coordination with suppliers and customers. Part III focuses on different formalized approaches (simulation...

Environmental Geomechanics

This book covers a range of topics that are of increasing importance in engineering practice: natural hazards, pollution, and environmental protection through good practice.
The first half of the book deals with natural risk factors, of both natural and human origin, that should be considered: subsidence, accidental infiltration, soil instability, rockslides and mudslides, debris flow, and degrad...

Linear Systems

Linear systems have all the necessary elements (modeling, identification, analysis and control), from an educational point of view, to help us understand the discipline of automation and apply it efficiently. This book is progressive and organized in such a way that different levels of readership are possible. It is addressed both to beginners and those with a good understanding of automation wish...

Mechanics of Unsaturated Geomaterials

This book provides a sound basis in the challenging area of the mechanics of unsaturated geomaterials. The objective is to supply the reader with an exhaustive overview starting from the basics and covering the most recent theories and applications (i.e. natural disasters, nuclear waste disposal, oil and agriculture productions). The presentation of the fundamental concepts is based on an interdi...

Sonar and Underwater Acoustics

This book is a new and improved version of a previous work which was successful because of its approach to defining the essential basic knowledge required by someone working in the field of sonar − using a practical approach – combined with concrete examples of industrial applications. It brings together in a single volume a treatment of all the various problems which face designers and us...
