Towards Effective Food Chains Models and Applications
Towards Effective Food Chains Models and Applications
Author(s): Jacques Trienekens, Jan Top, Jack van der Vorst and Adrie BeulensFood chain management research can help in the analysis and redesign of value creation and the product flow throughout the chain from primary producer down to the consumer. The aim is to meet consumer and societal requirements effectively at minimal cost. In the Wageningen UR strategic research program, Agrologistics and Supply Chains (2005-2009), a large number of Wageningen UR research institutes were involved in multi-disciplinary and applied research projects in order to shed light on diverse food supply chain management challenges such as, design of chain strategies, collaboration efficiencies between chain partners, management of risks in chains, innovative modeling concepts and application of information technologies. This book presents the results of this program. It offers a diverse disciplinary spectrum on food supply chains and it?s challenges in 15 chapters. It contributes considerably to the advancement of our knowledge on management and control of food supply chains.
