A consequence of business specialization is the implementation of
weak processes that cross departmental and corporate boundaries.
Supply chain management (SCM) addresses this issue by requiring a
process view that reaches across these confines. Due to
globalization and a competitive environment, those within the
retail supply chains are particularly vulnerable. New ways of
managing require an understanding of the entire chain by
participants at every level-retailer, distributor, manufacturer,
and service provider. Demonstrating the link between markets,
products, and product strategies in the supply chain, Retail Supply
Chain Management provides the knowledge and skills required to
thrive in this environment. It demonstrates the connection between
the processes involved in manufacturing, distribution, warehousing,
and transportation, and how to use these connections to their best
advantage. The book offers fresh insights into the financial and
operational tools that are available and how to use these tools in
order to deliver quality products in the most cost efficient
manner. The authors' collaboration brings together expertise from
both operations and retail business management, matching the
solutions available from SCM with the challenges and opportunities
that arise in the retail industry. The text also includes case
studies and experiences from leaders in SCM as well as hard lessons
learned by those trying to lead. These examples illustrate specific
solutions to common situations in a retail supply chain.
