Includes bibliographical references and index. Evolution of supply chains -- Supply chains as a system -- Funds flow along the supply chain -- ROI for supply chains and other issues -- Trends in supply chain development and management -- Preparation for the future. "An increasingly global business landscape means that even the smallest of companies must contend with a growing base of international suppliers and customers. With that comes myriad technical, organizational, and cultural changes that challenge traditional management practices. Regardless of the means taken to address these challenges, all companies will eventually have to synchronize the flow of their products, information, and funds." "Going beyond the usual supply chain text, Principles of Supply Chain Management not only details the individual components of the supply chain but also illustrates how the pieces must come together for an effective supply chain." "Focusing on the customer and working backwards through distribution, manufacturing, and the extractive industries of mining and agriculture, the text provides numerous examples and case histories to outline a proven approach for achieving effective supply chain integration.
