Opis

BUILD, EVALUATE OR REDESIGN YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN TRANSACTIONS USING THE PLAYBOOK APPROACH In -PLAYBOOK- the authors apply their decades of experience with procurement, supply chains, contract management and risk mitigation to provide a well-defined methodology for safely and effectively entering into and managing supply chain transactions from -cradle to grave-. There is often a gap between the theory of supply chain management and its actual application in a contracting or commercial context. In -PLAYBOOK-, the authors bridge that gap and provide a clear process for engaging in sound supply chain transactions in a manner best suited to each organization's unique needs. -PLAYBOOK- offers a disciplined 49 step pathway for building or improving an organization's supply chain transactions while managing risk and upholding the integrity of the contractual relationship. How well those transactions are entered into, as well as managed, is a critical but often overlooked risk management function. As so aptly stated in the Foreword written by Dr. Darren Prokop, Professor of Logistics at the College of Business and Public Policy - University of Alaska Anchorage: -Humbert and Mastice understand that supply and demand chains are not just linkages through which inputs and finished goods move to their ultimate customer; rather, they are means by which people meet, negotiate and contract with each other.- -PLAYBOOK- identifies and explains 49 steps that an organization can follow either as a model or to modify its own supply chain transaction processes. By using or adapting the -PLAYBOOK- steps, an organization can build or improve its own Playbook, unique to itself but based on sound protocols. -PLAYBOOK- also creates the opportunity to position the organization for consistency, efficiency, risk avoidance and improvement in today's highly competitive, ever-changing global supply chain environment. Once an organization institutes a Playbook, it can not only adjust to change but also anticipate, adapt and take advantage of change while carefully managing the specter haunting every transaction, namely: RISK.
