Synopsis :

The business environment in the twenty-first century is truly global in scope. Companies must navigate and manage networks of international suppliers and customers to compete in a global marketplace. While this may seem like a daunting task for executives and managers, this book will help in more ways than one.

An efficient and effective supply chain can provide a sustainable competitive advantage that will secure a firm's position in the global market. Global supply chains are often fraught with complexity and uncertainty that makes them difficult to manage in a way that enables the firm to realize the maximum potential advantage. You must understand the importance of supply chain management to your firm's overall performance and competitiveness.

Inside this outstanding contribution to supply chain management, you'll learn about the challenges of managing a global supply chain and how cutting-edge strategies will help your company cope with these challenges and improve their supply chain performance. Details include supply chain risk management, the total cost of ownership approach to procurement, global supplier selection, network orchestration, transportation and distribution strategies around the world, and transportation security measures.
