While the majority of that body of knowledge is still very relevant a decade later, it is no longer sufficient to effectively manage the supply networks and supply chains of today and over the next decade. This book introduces a new set of essential supply management concepts, strategies, and practices that are an integral part of surviving and thriving in this unprecedented era of rapid change and disruption. Key Features –Addresses the importance of developing well-crafted supply strategies and linking supply management success to corporate financial success –Explores the four areas that enable strategic supply management to become a reality in this new era: the shift from human resource management to talent management, evolving organizational designs, new directions in supply measurement, and the information-enabled supply organization –Explains how to gain a competitive advantage through true collaborative relationships and become the customer of choice to suppliers –Deals with the inevitability of risk and presents over a dozen types of flexibility that help reduce risk and increase corporate resilience –Discusses the importance of global supply management and explores in detail the topic of reshoring work back to a home country, such as the U.S. –Makes the case for becoming a process-driven organization and identifies a set of best practices associated with four critical processes –Provides comprehensive coverage on the issue of complexity, including why we have it and how to overcome it –WAV offers total landed cost and DuPont financial models, research findings, a supplier relation and trust analysis, and a supplier satisfaction survey—available from the Web Added Valueâ„¢ Download Resource Center at www.jrosspub.com
