Advanced Supply Chain Management

It is apparent that the supply chain is the main artery of all businesses. As the army of logistics practitioners grows, almost exponentially, firms are throwing their best resources at whatever they call their ‘’supply chains’’ in a sometimes desperate attempt to gain a lead. Hardly any firm today lacks a supply chain management department or equivalent function. Unfortunately, however, much of this effort is not effectively directed or fully understood. The result is a growing gap between the firms that truly understand and implement the concepts of effective, forward-looking supply chain management and those that simply follow a trend.
