Description

Managing supply networks for innovation and competitive advantage: Concepts, models, roadmaps, and more
Capture, organize, and fully utilize your #1 supply chain resource: knowledgeSystematically improve strategic, tactical, and operational decision-makingImprove your capabilities for managing and competing on supply networks
Best-practice supply chain management transcends yesterday's functional silos. Today, it requires a comprehensive approach that recognizes supply networks as the core driver of business value. To maximize and sustain value creation in fast-changing supply networks, practitioners must properly address an even deeper issue: knowledge.

In A Guide to Supply Chain Management, two pioneers in global supply chain operations explain why knowledge management is so critical to supply chain success. Next, they show how to use their advanced Supply Network Alignment Reference Model (SNAR) to organize your own supply chain network into knowledge areas, enabling better decision making at every level.

Drawing on their extensive experience helping executives optimize their global supply chains, the authors also present their innovative Supply Network Knowledge Management Maturity Roadmap (SKMap). Using this powerful tool, you'll learn how to identify and overcome your key supply network management challenges in your increasingly fluid and complex environment.

Today, fluid and complex supply chain networks compete to create value for shareholders and stakeholders. In this environment, success fundamentally depends upon the effective ongoing management of knowledge and risk.

This comprehensive introductory guide offers powerful blueprints and models for managing both knowledge and risk in your own rapidly evolving environment. Alexandre Oliveira and Anne Gimeno build upon—and go beyond—important previous contributions such as Porter's Five Forces Model.

Using the new approaches described here, supply chain decision-makers can systematically achieve far higher levels of effective innovation. This innovation will help you create a ground-breaking cost-benefit environment: one that encompasses partners and alliances to establish sustainable competitive leadership.

The book discusses models such as the Forrester´s Effect, the Efficient Supply Chain, Vendor managed inventory (VMI), Lean supply chain, Sales and operations planning (S&OP), Continuous replenishment program (CRP), the Agile supply chain, Efficient consumer response (ECR), Collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment (CPFR), Responsive supply chain, Bullwhip effect, Leagile supply chain, Supply chain risk management, Integrated Business Planning (IBP), Resilient supply chain, Customer driven supply chain, Demand driven supply chain, Business Case, Adaptive supply chain, and the wise supply chain.

In short, it will help you compete on supply chain networks—and win.
