Synopsis

‘Dynamic Supply Chains is a masterpiece in the field of supply chain management’

Dr Rakesh Singh, Chairman, Institute of Supply Chain Management, India

 

 

 

 

Dynamic supply chains are at the heart of your business. You need to get them right.

 

Are your supply chains equipped to compete for a faster, more flexible future?  Supply chains are not just part of your business: in many ways they are your business.  They are made up of living, active people, and to really get supply chains right you need to capture the dynamism that people can bring to the flow of goods and services, both inside and outside your business.  In this third edition of Dynamic Supply Chains, renowned international expert John Gattorna gives you a practical and effective new model for supply chains that will help you get closer to your customers and suppliers, and set your business on a new path to growth. John’s  ‘outside-in’ philosophy is based on ‘Design Thinking’ principles, underpinned by business analytics, visualization, and the passion to get things done. This is indeed, supply chains by design.

Review

“Dynamic Supply Chains can be considered a “magnum opus” in every sense of the term...The practical advice is sound, the examples and anecdotes are telling, and the explanations of the core concepts are clear.  Most important, the book really gets you thinking differently—and realistically—about how to take supply chain performance to a new level.  Check it out; it’s definitely a worthwhile investment.”

 

Francis J. Quinn, Editorial Director, SupplyChain Management Review

 

"I advise organizations on supply chain management and performance improvement on a daily basis. I am naturally drawn to the subject of organizational theory: leadership, management approaches, industrial and organizational studies, etc. – since I was a first year student at the university. I spend significant amount of time reading books and articles trying to understand how organizations and management approaches have evolved over the past ten centuries, and in understanding the anatomy and physiology of future organizations and industries. John Gattorna’s book, “Dynamic Supply Chains: Delivering Value Through People”, is so amazing I found myself reading it for the second time, all the way from page xi. This book is so good I almost underlined every sentence in agreement. “Dynamic Supply Chains” inspired me to undertake a research study on value networks. I would like to thank John for sharing his knowledge and wisdom with us." Mr. Nndateni Ndou, Performance Improvement Consultant, Johannesburg, South Africa
