This handbook is essential reading for all managers looking to implement Supply Chain Management (SCM) in their organisations. Successful SCM is one of the greatest sources of competitive advantage. Based upon the experiences of "best practice" supply chain companies who have succeeded where others have failed; this book is the only one to offer an insight into the most difficult aspect of supply chain management - its implementation.
As a survival guide to SCM the book provides an understanding of the major obstacles that practitioners are likely to face - from securing resources to the company culture; and valuable advice on how to overcome or avoid these obstacles.
Using real case examples, the handbook gives guidelines and tips from some of the leading practitioners on how to overcome obstacles to successful implementation of SCM.
