Today, supply chain transformation for creating customer value
continues to be a priority for many companies, as it enables them
to gain a competitive advantage. While value creation is shaped by
external drivers such as market volatility, technology, product and
service offering and disruption, it can be stymied by the internal
stresses arising from the need to minimize costs, limitations in
process redesign, waste minimization and the unavailability of
knowledge capital. Therefore, for companies to survive and prosper,
the relevant questions to ask would be how to identify the
external/internal forces driving changes and how to map the
business drivers to the attributes of transformation. While the
contemporary supply chain is well-structured, the evolving economic
system is causing disruptions to this structure. The emergence of
novel business paradigms - non applicability of the traditional
laws of supply and demand, dominance of negative externality
effects and anomalies of high growth rate coexisting with high
supply side uncertainty - must be recognized in transforming supply
chains. For example, healthcare delivery and humanitarian relief do
not follow known supply/demand relationships; the negative
externality effects are increasing sustainability concerns; and
emerging economies, with dysfunctional business infrastructure,
must manage high growth rates. This book delves into the
transformation issues in supply chains and extends the concepts to
incorporate emerging issues. It does so through ten chapters,
divided into three sections. The first section establishes the
framework for transformation, while the second focuses on the
transformation of current chains in terms of products, processes,
supply base, procurement, logistics and fulfillment. Section three
is devoted to capturing the key issues in transforming supply
chains for emerging economies, humanitarian relief, sustainability
and healthcare delivery. This work will be of interest to both
academics and industrial practitioners and will be of great value
to graduate students in business and engineering. It raises many
questions, some provocative and provides many leads for in-depth
research. Several approaches are suggested for new problems along
with a discussion of case studies and examples from different
industries.
