21ST CENTURY LOGISTICS: MAKING SUPPLY CHAIN INTEGRATION A REALITY

This book is presented for managers who have embarked along the road to logistical and supply chain excellence but have not yet realized its full benefits. The book presents a framework to help recognize and overcome common obstacles that undermine both internal and external integration of value-added logistical operations. Integration is an essential element for providing maximum value to end-customers. The book provides a narrative interpretation of empirical research that identifies critical areas of integration needed to boost supply chain effectiveness. A research-based methodology and diagnostic assessment software is also presented in the book. These aid provide a framework for facilitating improved integrative management among internal business unit and corporate operations, external material and service suppliers as well as customers.
