I have long felt that a modern book on the subject one that would be useful as a primary reference and, more importantly, as a reference in a industrial studies should incorporate modern supply chain management strategies, different types and usability of same.

Products and services are the result of the complex interaction of many individual value creators. Every enterprise has business connections with other participants of the supply chain suppliers, service providers, end customers. Supply chain management is the radical orientation of all activities along the value-added chain towards customer benefit. The individual links of the supply chain typically are legally independent entities looking for the respective optimum for their companies. It is a fact, however, that the total of many individual optima does not guarantee an overall optimum output. This is precisely where Supply Chain Management sets in: coordination along the whole supply chain to improve the overall performance and the overall costs to the benefit of everyone involved.

This text takes an updated view of the issues involved in supply chain management in today's business environment. In the 1990s, many businesses have gone through a number of changes, in particular through focusing on core activities and divesting themselves of many of the support functions traditionally carried out 'in house'. This development has led to the necessity for a broader concept of logistics that embraces the functions of both suppliers and customers into an integrated supply chain. The consequence of this is that the fundamental disciplines of logistics management must be reviewed and modified. Within this framework, the text addresses topics such as: - Value chain analysis - Activity based costing - Strategic partnerships and alliances - International operations - Optimisation - Best practice and benchmarking The book is ideal for students and practitioners in the field of logistics and supply chain management.

Globalization, technology and an increasingly competitive business environment have encouraged huge changes in what is known as supply chain management, the art of sourcing components and delivering finished goods to the customer as cost effectively and efficiently as possible. Dell transformed the way people bought and were able to customize computers. Wal-Mart and Tesco have used their huge buying power and logistical skills to ensure the supply and stock management of their stores is finely honed. Manufacturers now make sure that components are where they are needed on the production line just in time for when they are needed and no longer. Such finessing of the way the supply chain works boosts the corporate bottom line and can make the difference between being a market leader or an "also ran." This guide explores all the different aspects of supply chain management and gives hundreds of real-life examples of what firms have achieved in the field. Guide to Supply Chain Management: Defines a framework for formulating a supply chain strategy—it ensures focused supply chain efforts that contribute significantly to the corporate strategy and goals, rather than what can end up...
