1) Hardcover Book Strategic Supply Chain Management by McGraw-Hill. The authors show good command over the subject. There are several key aspects mentioned in the book which are not obvious to everyone. The authors stumble on getting the right message out. In short, it´s a very long book to cover a small subject.¤ 2) Hardcover Book Strategic Supply Chain Management by McGraw-Hill. This book has a lot of stuff in it. It´s got a good overview of how to look at your supply chain starting with the supplier of your supplier, and going through to the customer of your customer.
It´s got a lot of real world examples, and each of the six chapters ends in a 10-page real world case study of a large corporation.
However, I just couldn´t get into it, even though I read it cover to cover. This was a hard book to trudge through, probably because of its very narrow target audience.
This book is written to the level of Senior Vice President of International Operations at a $800+ million company. It´s at a pretty high level and maybe that´s why it was so hard to read.
With only a few minor modifications, this book could be called: "World Class Marketing" or "Quality Improvement: New Directions." It´s technically about Supply Chain Management, but it´s at such a very high level.¤ 3) Hardcover Book Strategic Supply Chain Management by McGraw-Hill. Finally, a book that explains supply chain strategy WITHOUT THE HYPE AND BUZZ WORDS!! The authors were right...this book should´ve been written years ago coz it will definitely enlighten those trying to unravel the intricacies in crafting a supply chain strategy. This book emphasizes the vital link between business objectives and supply chain strategy. The 5 core principles and its practical applications are discussed opposite real life examples of world class companies like Eli Lilly, Autoliv and the DoD, "the largest supply chain in the world." The frequent reference to the SCOR Model in the book only emphasize the power of the model in crafting and executing the 5 core principles the authors talk about. DON´T LEAVE FOR THE OFFICE WITHOUT THIS!!¤ 4) Hardcover Book Strategic Supply Chain Management by McGraw-Hill. Shoshanah Cohen gave a supply chain strategy workshop at a conference I attended and I received a copy of the book after the workshop. The book has a lot of good examples of what real companies are doing and I have been able to use some of the ideas in my own work. It is an easy read.¤ 5) Hardcover Book Strategic Supply Chain Management by McGraw-Hill. Finally, a book that approaches supply chain management from the perspective that it is an integral part of a well-formed business strategy. By using solid examples, the authors illustrate how businesses can use strategic supply chain management to drive competitive advantage. In addition, the authors outline a practical framework to better manage the supply chain.
I recommend this book for supply chain professionals looking for a way to simply and effectively illustrate the competitive power of supply chain management. This book is also a must read for the non-supply chain executive looking for a way to tap into the power of supply chain management.
¤ 6) Hardcover Book Strategic Supply Chain Management by McGraw-Hill. Agile, strategic supply chain management is a key competitive necessity in today’s no-room-for-error business arena. And few organizations have acquired more knowledge—and demonstrated better results—than the team at global management consultancy Pittiglio, Rabin, Todd, and McGrath (PRTM). In the breakthrough reference Strategic Supply Chain Management, two of PRTM’s leading consultants in this practice explain everything that corporate decision-makers need to know to create value and competitive advantage from their supply chains. ¤Page Updated: Robert N.
