Basics of Supply Chain Management

by Lawrence D. Fredendall

"Basics of Supply Chain Management provides you with an introduction to the fundamental concepts and methods used to effectively manage the complete flow of materials within an organization and throughout the supply chain." "A key barrier to SCM has always been the cost of communicating with and coordinating among independent suppliers in each supply chain. Three major changes now break down this barrier: technology that simplifies communication, management paradigms that streamline supply chain coordination, and the development of a highly trained workforce. Basics of Supply Chain Management will give you the tools to reduce your costs, increase your customers, and therefore increase your profit."--Jacket.
