Conducting "business as usual" is out of step with today's
rapid-fire, global economy. Velocity Management in Logistics and
Distribution: Lessons from the Military to Secure the Speed of
Business alerts commerce to the new reality that it must be more
flexible and responsive in managing the unpredictability of its
environment, particularly when it comes to the supply chain
process. This comprehensive resource explains how to successfully
migrate towards velocity management, which espouses replacing
traditional reliance on mass quantities of inventory with receiving
what is needed when it is needed - providing businesses with the
ability to rapidly meet customers' ever-changing requirements. The
velocity management paradigm is based on the highly successful
example set by the United States Army, as illustrated by the
author, a renowned speaker and retired colonel with more than 26
years of supply chain and leadership experience. He explains how
the Army went from being mired in a mammoth, archaic, Cold War
logistics infrastructure to achieving a lean, agile, world-class
supply chain network. Chapters detail how this transition can be
accomplished in the business arena. They relay aspects essential to
achieving a successful supply chain: maintaining security,
achieving velocity, and applying military theories, practices, and
lessons learned. This invaluable and timely reference concludes
with a summary of key themes and their relevant application to
modern supply chains.
