This book is about making money out of the supply chain. It is impossible to improve the performance of any chain without a deep understanding of the impact of the weakest link in that chain - the constraint. Without a constraint management perspective both supply chain management and lean thinking lack focus and the real leverage that senior management with the manufacturing industry are seeking.
The book has been written for both practitioners and researcher alike. It will be an ideal textbook for anyone teaching operations management, and will also act as a useful guide for those seeking to improve the performance of their own company. The book draws on the author's own experiences within the UK manufacturing industry in implementing constraint management, using case studies to highlight the key issues faced in the journey to substantially enhanced bottom-line performance. The book examines the role of new product development, the role of production, the role of distribution, the development of the team, and the strategical focus required to turn the supply chain, or what the author calls the "Revenue Chain" into a real, practical, approach for any company.
