This title offers an intelligent and easy-to-digest roadmap for successfully implementing a lean and agile value chain transformation program. Although the benefits of applying lean concepts or improving the flexibility of a value chain are clear and desperately needed in today's competitive environment, none of the current literature provides guidance on how to do this. Lean and Value Chain Management fills that gap by providing a comprehensive roadmap that shows organizations, step-by-step, how to successfully implement a lean and agile value chain transformation program. It brings together the latest advances in the field in an easy-to-digest format, and offers practical, proven tactics and detailed guidance on every aspect of the value chain redesign process - including how to map the existing process, intelligently leverage new technologies, build a strategy for strengthening relationships with suppliers and customers, identify comprehensive related metrics, and much more.
