Supply chain management (SCM) disciplines have produced a flood of
new concepts, methods, and tools; if applied wisely, they will
improve results. A resource that weeds out and consolidates this
new information will lower the business risk of implementing
change. Interpreting models and viewpoints from many fields into a
supply chain context, Handbook of Supply Chain Management, Second
Edition recommends a plan for acting on these insights, reducing
confusion and making the work of supply chain managers both faster
and more on target with the needs of their companies. This volume
introduces or emphasizes the supply chain management topics that
have grown in visibility or prominence since the publication of the
first edition. These include: drivers of supply chain change;
project management approaches for executing supply chain change;
globalization and supply chains; the importance of spheres
(businesses within a business) in designing supply chains; the
contribution of backbone/enabling processes within an organization;
and the "lean" and six sigma movements and their implications for
SCM. Divided into four parts, this volume begins by providing an
overview that traces the evolution of concepts that define SCM. It
then establishes the role of SCM in improving operations and the
ability of businesses to compete. Section II confronts management
with "The Supply Chain Challenge," made up of five tasks that
enable management to find solutions to problems and generate ideas
for implementing a supply chain improvement project. Section III
describes how to perform critical supply chain improvement tasks,
including activities that create a plan as well as tasks needed to
implement the plan. The book concludes with chapters devoted to
case studies; each adds reality to theoretical frameworks. They
illustrate successful and not-so-successful endeavors across the
supply chain spectrum.
