Description
The book Supply Chain Architecture: A Blueprint for Networking the Flow of Material, Information, and Cash provides a blueprint for networking the flow of material, information, and cash in a supply chain. The five principles of Velocity, Variability, Vocalize, Visualize, and Value are applied to simplify the design and operation of complex, real-world supply chains. The book inspires readers to see beyond their organization to unlock the competitive energy of end-to-end supply chains.
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 measures, planning at the interface between push and pull operations, minimization of velocity traps, and paralleling cash-to-cash cycles.
