Bricks Matter
Supply chain management has gradually shifted from a supply-driven focus to a demand-driven one. Bricks Matter shows how to identify market risks and opportunities and turn them into winning tactics, with business cases from leaders succeeding through market-driven approaches. Learn how to apply predictive analytics to manage value networks, and how to move from vertical excellence to strong, horizontal market-to-market processes.
Metrics that Matter
Supply chain management is now more than thirty years old, and companies know supply chain performance matters. Yet leaders still argue about which metrics matter most and why. This book answers that question with financial analysis of company performance through balance, resiliency, and strength. Case studies share how supply chain leaders made the right trade-offs, and show why the answer varies by industry sector.
