The need for rapid and sustainable development within supply chains is one of the key imperatives of today's business environment.
Rationalizing the value stream is undoubtedly a primary source of competitive advantage that is receiving ever more attention as focus moves increasingly from the company to the supply chain.
Priority issues are: how enlightened managers should begin to understand their business environment; how they should start thinking strategically about change; and, indeed, how they should undertake the implementation of an improved supply chain.
Value Stream Management explores the answers to these questions and provides the concepts and tools to understand and implement the creation of total value in the supply chain.
The value stream concept and your ability to quantify and map it, bringing lean thinking to all aspects of your supply chain, is core to delivering exceptional gains in the area of strategic supply.
