The cost cutting and efficiency improvements skills and accomplishments of supply chain professionals to help obtain a competitive advantage for their organizations, are quickly becoming insufficient. There is a growing need for supply chain professionals who act, think, and talk like financial managers. Designed for self-learning, training and course instruction, this guide shows supply chain management practitioners how to apply financial thinking, concepts, tools, and approaches to their primary activities to better understand and manage them, and how to present the impact of their performance results in soon to be required financial terms to corporate executives.
