Supply Chain Architecture: A Blueprint for Networking the Flow of
Material, Information, and Cash applies five crucial business
principles to solve network problems for geographically separated
workers who must team together to deliver products and
services.These five principles--Velocity, Variability, Vocalize,
Visualize, and Value--simplify the design and operation of complex,
real-world supply chain networks for broad use throughout the
manufacturing and service sectors. Written by an accomplished
practitioner in common sense language, this "how to" book provides
a complete blueprint for transforming marginal business
relationships into exceptionally competitive networks. The author
clearly explains how a supply chain network's competitiveness is
defined by the integration of network design, the product Bill of
Materials, and the network operations, not by a particular
technology solution. This volume inspires you to see beyond the
confines of your organization to unlock the competitive energy of
end-to-end supply chain networks.; It offers complete coverage of
important topics that have previously received little attention,
including the implementation of global performance meas
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.
This book is a must-read for anyone studying and researching the
rise and fall of Senator Joseph R. McCarthy and McCarthyism in
American political life. Intolerance in America that targets
alleged internal subversives controlled by external agents has a
storied history that stretches hundreds of years. While the
post-World War II "Red Scare" and the emergence of McCarthyism
during the 1950s is the era commonly associated with American
anticommunism, there was also a "First Red Scare" that occurred in
1919-1920. In both time periods, many Americans feared the
radicalism of the left, and some of the most outspoken-like
McCarthy-used slander to denounce their political enemies. The
result was an atmosphere in which individual rights and liberties
were at risk and hysteria prevailed. McCarthyism and the Red Scare:
A Reference Guide tracks the rise and fall of Senator Joe McCarthy
