All too often, entrepreneurs start small businesses unaware of
their need for a supply chain network. And, large companies are
acquired and their product lines merged with little regard for
supply chain network integration and rationalization. Written for
practitioners by a practitioner with 40 years of experience, Supply
Chain Construction: The Basics for Networking the Flow of Material,
Information, and Cash presents an integrated, comprehensive
blueprint for building and/or rebuilding an end-to-end supply
chain. Emphasizing flexibility and strength, the book explores
optimal ways to withstand product evolution, contingencies,
organizational life cycles, and disasters for the long haul. Each
chapter begins with a storyline describing the interpersonal
relationships and intrapersonal conflicts that attend change. This
is followed by a logical sequence of checklists, diagrams, maps,
mathematical models, and spreadsheets for each topic. The author
presents a 20-step blueprint that defines the supply chain network
container and its product contents and includes example
applications of the blueprint to nontraditional businesses found in
small to medium-sized companies. He also includes decision factor
charts for selecting the right suppliers, factories, and
distributors; comprehensive examples of both forward and reverse
supply chain network construction; and detailed explanations of
inbound, midbound, and outbound logistics considerations. Just as a
surgeon performing a delicate operation needs to understand the
consequences of cutting into an intersection of the body's internal
organs, you, the supply chain practitioner, need to understand the
consequences of cutting into an intersection of a network's
material flow, information flow, and cash flow. Covering the
practical issues of highly integrated networks woven together by
corporate relationships and enabled by information technology, this
book shows you how to systematically build and/or rebuild a robust
supply chain that not only ensures growth, but also solidifies the
future of your company as a whole.
