What's New
The "Supply Chain" is
the term used to describe the movement of products and services
from suppliers to customers. Managing that Supply Chain
effectively is vital to the success of any company, because reducing
the cost of the products and services in your Supply Chain
benefits your profitability more directly than increasing your
revenues. But - there's far more to Supply Chain
Management than just getting a better deal on office furniture,
or deciding to implement an e-Commerce package you've heard
about.
This book offers an end-to-end analysis of the entire Supply
Chain, with both short term and long term actions that can change
the way your company does business - in some very revolutionary
ways. It links those acronym-heavy solutions, like CRM and ERP,
with the substantial gaps in business functionality that you need
to fill. Because they're costing you money.
We cover the potential of
exciting and significant technologies like RFID and getting the
most out of the systems and processes you have already.
Every business knows that analyzing their "spend" and
applying the results to their policies, contracting and
purchasing can significantly and measurably reduce the cost of
operations. But, do you know how effective - and accurate - that
analysis really is? How it's really done? Why it's so costly? And
what steps you could take to get it for free?
We look at the whole supply chain - the underlying policies,
practices, procedures, and systems, beginning with what
your customer wants to why you don't
know when the warranty runs out on your notebook's hard drive.
We cover topics from why your telecom network imposes enormous
and generally hidden costs on your entire company's productivity
to why the systems you put in place to support the Supply Chain
don't (and in some cases can't) talk to each other.
