Enterprise supply chain management: integrating best in class processes

This book provides an overview on Supply Chain Management functions across anenterprise, with a primary focus on the Retail industry. Each chapter discusses what a process does (what questions does it answer for me?), what inputs the process requires and what outputs it provides. It is intentionally written with no specific bias towards the business or IT manager and covers both sides where it makes sense. For example, most of the supply chain processes today are managed through technology solutions that are highly mathematical in nature,and understanding the theory of how physical supply chain elements are modeled in these solutions (without going into the depth of mathematical modeling) definitely provides a deeper appreciation of the solutions to the business side. By the same measure, their IT counterparts will do well to understand what exactly these processes provide to the business, how they impact a-day-in-the-life scenario for the practitioners, and what metrics they impact.
