Supply Chain Strategy and Financial Metrics: The Supply Chain Triangle Of Service, Cost And Cash

Fantastic textbook on supply chain strategy. The book fills the gap between strategy and finance. Previous textbooks on supply chain have touched upon this aspect but never elaborated on it. Being a professor, I required materials which can fill this gap and this text does exactly that. Strongly recommended for all irrespective of whether you are a supply chain professional or an academic or a strategy consultant.

One of the best books in terms of practical applications to benchmarking supply chain performance!

The First 3 chapters are the Zest of the book based on the triangle Of Service, Cost And Cash. The rest are details on calculating the metrics and optimization which has to adapted to your organization's supply chain. Included are a few decent case studies. Go it new $50 so I am Ok with it. Biggest hurdle will be getting executive buy in and staff adaptation every time one tweeks the metrics which has to be tied into your supply chain software (ERP) system.

Excellent synopsis of current thinking in the critical area of business strategy execution through supply chain. The author has smoothly connected supply chain basics with more advanced approaches to strategy execution. I most appreciated his points regarding SCOR and the importance of broadening ones approach to performance management beyond this rigid domain. The book is well written and highly accessible conceptually to both novice and advanced supply chain practioners.

Bel libro per chi, lavorando nella supply chain, desidera aggiornarsi, mantenere i concetti acquisiti, espandere qualche concetto.
