How Today's Best Companies Manage Their Supply Chains for Superior Performance
Kaplan Publishing, 2007
Aperçu
Does your supply chain support your work or get in the way? How supply chains got tangled and how to unsnarl yours.
Recommendation
Robert Malone uses his deep knowledge of modern worldwide logistics to help you understand what has happened to your supply chain. He analyzes the issues that businesses face and uses corporate examples to illustrate his points. He presents the material within each chapter as a series of short, two or three paragraph articles. This contributes to a somewhat impressionistic style, but getAbstract finds that the overall effect is quite interesting and informative. If you need to get a handle on the modern supply chain and the logistics it entails, this is a useful take on the subject.
