A supply chain refers to a system of people, activities, organizations, resources and information that are involved in the movement of a product or service from a supplier to the end customer. The activities in a supply chain involve the transformation of raw materials, natural resources and components into the finished product. In special supply chains, the used products can re-enter the supply chain when the residual value is recyclable. There can be different types of supply chain models that address the upstream and downstream aspects of supply chain management. The Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model is the cross-industry standard measuring total supply chain performance. It includes the parameters of production flexibility, delivery and order fulfillment performance, inventory and asset turns, etc. Supply chain logistics are two closely related aspects of any business.

Most of the topics introduced herein cover new techniques and the applications of supply chain management. This book, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various levels.

The application of information technology along with digital media to the field of archeology is known as digital archeology. There are various techniques used in this field such as laser scanning, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), 3-D printing and digital photography. Its two subdomains are computational archeology and virtual archeology. Computational archeology is also known as archeoinformatics. It studies the behavioral evolution and long-term human behavior using computer-based analytical methods. Virtual archeology deals with the reconstruction of buildings and artifacts using three dimensional models and multimedia solutions. All the information which is collected from field work is converted into digital format by visual archeologists. Digital archeology is an upcoming field of science that has undergone rapid development over the past few decades. This book covers in detail some existent theories and innovative concepts related to this field. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
