From the Inside Flap

" 'Best practices' don't just happen by throwing a lot of money at your supply chain problems...It takes time, talent, energy, focus, commitment...Those are the qualities that the best-run companies in the world share, and it's why they're on top."

—David Blanchard from Chapter 1, Supply Chain Management Best Practices In the United States alone, companies spend more than $1 trillion every year on transportation, warehousing, distribution, and associated inventory management. The responsibility for managing that spending falls squarely on the shoulders of supply chain professionals. While the role of a supply chain professional may differ from company to company, the goals are similarly daunting: to develop and position a company's supply chains in order to compete and win in today's global marketplace. Packed with abundant anecdotes, interviews, case studies, research, and analysis, Supply Chain Management Best Practices offers a comprehensive and unflinching look at the development of supply chain management by looking at some of the people and the businesses largely responsible for its momentum.
