Supply Chain Roadmap

Supply Chain Roadmap is a new glance about supply chain strategy.......

Why so often does it seem that a company is on one path and its supply chain is on another path?

Answering this question is difficult, partly because it sounds illogical and partly because it is not easy to understand why the supply chain and the business strategy are so often misaligned.

Supply Chain Roadmap will provide everything you need to know about supply chain strategy and how to ensure the alignment of the supply chain with business strategy.

This is not a conventional supply chain’s book, this is a practical handbook that guides you step by step in the analysis and formulation of supply chain strategy.

This book enables understanding of the supply chain management from the perspective of the business strategy, is useful for business leaders, managers, and all those interested in improving the competitiveness of organisations.

The book is organised in three sections:

* Section 1: Introduction, in which concepts about strategy and supply chain and the theoretical fundamentals behind the Supply Chain Roadmap method are explained: the three perspectives of the supply chain strategy (Business Framework, Unique Value Proposal, and Supply Chain Processes).

* Section 2: Supply Chain Roadmap Tools, in which the four tools used for applying the method are explained: The Map, 10-Common-Patterns, 6 Supply Chain Archetypes, and the Feasibility Matrix.

* Section 3: Applying the method, in which the 4-Steps method is presented. This is a step-by-step method allowing for the application of the Supply Chain Roadmap method to real cases; in addition to above, three cases of application of the Supply Chain Roadmap method are presented.
