Both the need and application of these measures, especially the need for multivariate quality concepts to reduce the costs of operating supply chains, to control the flow throughout the supply chain will be shown. The purpose is to reduce costs in the supply chain system and improve the probability of meeting the 'due time'. Inderscience Publishers - linking academia, business and industry through research
