From the Inside Flap

One of the biggest hurdles to supply chain transformation is overcoming a culture that is resistant to change. There is a level of transformation maturity in every company's culture that needs to evolve to influence behavior. Offering straightforward advice for implementation of successful change that doesn't waste precious resources, Supply Chain Transformation presents solid guidance on how to make the case for change, evaluating where change is needed most, and developing the game plan for implementation.

Filled with real-world cases and illustrations, this practical resource makes it clear that if you're not scanning the horizon and assessing the impact that new technologies, new products, new websites--new everything--may be having on your business and your own life, you and your business may be left behind. It explores best practice supply chain goals, such as demand creation and fulfillment, RFID, and other emerging technologies. In addition, this book describes why integration of supply chain into business strategy is vital in order to dramatically improve the performance, profitability, and overall financial health of your organization.

A must-read call to action for professionals in this field, Supply Chain Transformation provides an invaluable roadmap for companies looking to transform their supply chains and achieve solid results, while walking you through the difficult process of bringing your supply chain up to speed with new technologies in order to remain competitive.
