Supply Chain Management Best Practices

A supply chain includes all components of a business responsible for gathering the materials and services required to make a product, as well as the manufacture and shipment of the product to stores and, ultimately, customers.

In Supply Chain Management Best Practices, veteran business journalist David Blanchard explains how successful businesses have taken new approaches to managing their supply chains that allow them to ship products to customers faster while reducing costs and making supply chain management an integral part of their organizations.
