In many businesses, supply chain people are trapped in reactive
roles where they source, contract, purchase, receive, warehouse,
and ship as a service. However, in some businesses suppliers
contribute to improvement programs, technology, funding, marketing,
logistics, and engineering expertise. Breaking into a proactive
supply chain role takes broad thinking, a talent for persuasion,
and the courage to go after it. This book supplies proven methods
to help you do so. A Practical Introduction to Supply Chain
describes how to run an efficient supply chain that exceeds
expectations in terms of cost, quality, and supplier delivery. It
explains the need to integrate systems, the flow of information,
and the way in which people work together between commercial
purchasing, materials management, and distribution parts of the
supply chain. Sharing powerful insights from the perspective of a
supply chain manager, the book details practical techniques drawn
from the author's decades of experience. It presents methods that
apply directly to supply chains involving a physical product,
manufactured internally or outsourced, as well as physical
operations such as oilfield services. This book demonstrates how to
make a supply chain organization work in practice-contributing more
to business success than traditional purchasing and logistics
organizations can. In addition to writing about practical supply
chain issues and approaches, the author also describes proven
methods he used while working with client teams on assignments. He
also details some of the ways his teams used to manage the people
part of the change.
