Publisher's Note
As the myriad of companies that have recently downsized are coming to realize, it's difficult to pursue increased profits with reduced resources. Supply Chain Optimization outlines a strategy for overcoming this problem by breaking down the boundaries that have traditionally segregated supply chain participants from one another - fractionalizing their earning power. By analyzing the entire process, from initial supply to ultimate consumption, the authors help readers to identify the goals, avoid the pitfalls, and implement this new method of doing business. At the heart of the authors' plan is a four-step model to mobilize joint effort and focus resources from suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers on initiatives that have a high pay-back potential. The book includes case studies that show what a wide range of companies are actually doing to achieve supply chain optimization. Companies profiled include: Proctor & Gamble, Baxter Healthcare Corporation, Packaging Corporation of America, and Dominick's. Supply Chain Optimization offers survival tools for companies of all sizes. The authors describe consortiums, or "share groups", of smaller companies that can compete with the volume leverage of large corporations, superstores, and warehouse stores. By analyzing their shared supply chain and pooling their available resources, these consortiums can find hidden savings to protect their profit margins and remain competitive in today's marketplace. This title is an innovative model for businesses to establish an unbeatable competitive advantage that builds profits and funds future investments.
Industry reviews
The authors, principals of A.T. Kearney Management Consultants, have helped many businesses achieve performance gains. Drawing on their experience, Poirier and Reiter explain how companies should eliminate every inefficiency existing within their delivery systems and redefine and reengineer supply chains to establish an error-free, mutually beneficial network extending from original supply to final consumption. Unless such supply chains are formed, they argue, corporations may find themselves out of business in today's competitive environment. The authors present a complex and innovative proposition in an insightful, straightforward way, carefully defining specialized terms and illustrating their theses with actual case studies. They stress that firms should focus on what consumers consider valuable, with customer satisfaction the key measure rather than benefit to manufacturer or retailer. Information technology capable of providing accurate, up-to-the-minute data plays a critical role in developing a successful inter-enterprise supply chain partnership. Human frailties a win-lose attitude, reluctance to share and lack of trust are what will most likely cause a partnership to fail. This work warrants scrutiny by manufacturing and retail executives.
