Overview

Supply chain management is the management of relationships in the network of organizations, from end customers through original suppliers, using key cross-functional business processes to create value for customers and other stakeholders.Successful supply chain management requires implementing cross-functional processes within the company and integrating them with key members of the supply chain. Valuable resources are wasted when supply chains are not integrated, appropriately streamlined, and managed. The value of having standard business processes in place is that managers from different organizations in the supply chain can use a common language and can link-up their firms' processes with other members of the supply chain, as appropriate.Over a period of more than 20 years, Dr. Lambert and a team of faculty and executives developed a comprehensive cross-functional, cross-firm, supply chain management framework based on eight key business processes. Each process is managed by a cross-functional team, including representatives from logistics, production, purchasing, finance, marketing and research and development. While each process will interface with key customers and suppliers, the customer relationship management and supplier relationship management processes form the critical linkages in the supply chain."I have employed many of the fundamental building blocks of supply chain management spelled out in this book to transform a supply chain into a competitive weapon. If you want to deliver extraordinary business results in a challenging economic environment, study and apply the principles of this book."Mark LeposkySenior Vice President, Global Operations, Callaway Golf Company
