The Profitable Supply Chain: A Practitioner's Guide provides a
first-principles approach to understanding the drivers of today's
successful supply chains, covering everything from inventory and
demand management to network planning to technology-driven
improvements in efficient supply chain management. Apart from
introducing the latest concepts and methods, supply chain expert
and consultant Ramnath Ganesan provides numerous real-world
examples and cases to clarify how his process-oriented approach can
be applied to specific situations, together with spreadsheet
functions when appropriate. Practitioners will be especially
interested, for example, in the sections on assessing external
factors for demand, modifying network routings in response to
rising fuel prices, designing a framework for identifying issues
and tracking actions, and instituting financial measures to track
performance. The book addresses situations found in such industries
as consumer electronics, healthcare, telecommunications, consumer
goods, industrial equipment, building materials, and many others.
No matter the industry, all firms trading products face operational
challenges in producing and/or moving goods in a geographically
dispersed global network while fulfilling customer demand in a
timely and cost-efficient manner. Such demands can only be
supported by a rigorous approach that aligns supply with demand, an
approach this book outlines clearly and simply. The Profitable
Supply Chain will prove a valuable reference for production
schedulers, plant managers, material managers, demand planners, and
supply chain executives. Among other things, it covers the
following topics in great depth: How to design and implement an
efficient, scalable supply chain management process from the ground
up-or improve the one you have. How to maintain adequate inventory
levels while reducing the cost of supplying products. How to
implement specific metrics that help improve supply chain
performance and forecast accuracy. How to gain competitive
advantages through the latest advances in IT architecture and
software. This book will also be of immense value to information
technology professionals. That includes enterprise application
developers charged with designing and implementing a supply chain
IT architecture, as well as those administering and maintaining an
enterprise resource planning or advance planning system. There are
few areas in business more ripe for cost reductions than in the
supply chain. The Profitable Supply Chain is therefore your go-to
resource for making supply chain operations leaner, more efficient,
and ultimately far more profitable than they are now.
