Rather it refers to the need to speak, accounting, finance, marketing and operations. This book is written for the executive who is not a supply chain management professional but who wants to learn more about his or her supply chain. We will do this by diving into some best practices, examples of how other companies have managed their supply chain, and getting an overall briefing on the state of the art in supply chain management today. Questions and topics will be brought up that will help you have an informed discussion with the supply chain management professionals in your company. As prior supply chain and manufacturing executives and now educators, we hope to share with you a mix of our professional and academic experience and knowledge that will provide you a framework for understanding the placement of your supply chain within the global marketplace. 410 0$a2013 digital library. 410 0$aSupply and operations management collection.$x2156-8200 606 $aBusiness logistics 610 $asupply chain management 610 $avalue chain perspective 610 $aglobal marketplace 610 $aforecasting 610 $alogistics 610 $adistribution 610 $ainventory management 610 $asupply chain uncertainty 610 $achaos management 610 $asupply chain coping strategies 610 $ainformation technology and the supply chain 610 $acustomer service and the supply chain 610 $aservice operations 615 0$aBusiness logistics. 676 $a658.7 700 $aPrater$b Edmund$01725234 701 $aWhitehead$b Kim$01725235 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824615403321 996 $aAn introduction to supply chain management$94127984 997 $aUNINA
