This book provides practical insight into how to improve the effectiveness, resilience, and agility of supply chain operation in the public domain. Mark Fagan identifies key guiding principles and strategies based on past successes and failures, producing a roadmap for the future of supply chain management.
Responding to the increased salience and fragility of supply chains in light of Covid-19, environmental concerns, and geopolitical factors, this book adopts a unique perspective by focusing on the public sector. It analyzes specific case studies, and examines how to build and manage supply chains at the systems level. Chapters investigate key issues including evaluation processes, AI in supply chains, friend shoring and near shoring, and ensuring human rights across the supply chain. Fagan highlights how supply chains can support public policy goals, and identifies how to create policy that enables this impact and minimizes unintended side effects.
Providing a nuanced vision for the future of supply chains, this book is an invaluable resource for supply chain managers and policymakers in the public sphere. It is also an important read for scholars and students of operations management, public administration, and regulation and governance.

‘Mark L. Fagan delivers a comprehensive exploration of supply chain management tailored to the unique challenges of the public sector. His work bridges the gap between theory and practical applications and offers invaluable insights that empower policymakers and practitioners to enhance public service delivery through effective supply chain strategies.’
– Reinaldo Fioravanti, Inter-American Development Bank, US
‘Rapid evolution of ever more complicated supply chains requires us to re-examine and retool. Fagan lays out a comprehensive, well-articulated, framework and foundation for planning and development. The text utilizes current case studies for better understanding, translating the issues and potential solutions into application within his framework. An important read for anyone designing or redesigning a supply chain today.’
– Martin Grable, OneBlood, US
‘Mark Fagan’s book is one of the only texts that has successfully described, delineated, and demonstrated, with real-world examples, both the art and science of supply chain management in the public sector. His six guiding principles, learning from failures and masterful integration with public policy are essential for successful managers.’
