What Is Supply Chain Management?
內容大綱
Global Supply Chain Management is a four-chapter book written by Matt Drake, Director of International Business Programs and Assistant Professor of Supply Chain Management at Duquesne University, and published by Business Expert Press in January of 2012. Written for executives and managers of all levels, the title explores the challenges of managing a global supply chain and discusses what cutting-edge strategies firms can implement to cope with these challenges and improve their supply chain performance. Using case studies to illustrate concepts, the author explores many topics including: supply chain risk management, the total-cost-of-ownership approach to procurement, global supplier selection, network orchestration, transportation and distribution strategies around the world, and transportation security measures. The author opens the first chapter by exploring the concepts underlying supply chain management, terminology specific to the subject, and its evolution relevant to its business functions. The importance of supply chain management to executives and business leaders is discussed and real-world examples to illustrate why and how a firm can derive a competitive edge by managing the supply chain effectively.
