Book description

The Supply Chain Council (SCC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing best practices in supply chain management. Now in a newly revised, second edition,

Supply Chain Excellence

is the first and only book on the DCOR, CCOR, and SCOR Models. It gives professionals implementing new supply chain projects a clear, step-by-step guide to adopting the accepted and proven methodologies developed by the SCC. This book shows readers how they can:

* align strategy, material, workflow, and information * conduct the proper competitive analysis to define business opportunity * establish the metrics that will determine the project’s level of success * gain internal support by educating employees and executives

Complete with new case studies, a Value Chain Excellence project roadmap, and the addition of the DCOR and CCOR process frameworks, the second edition of Supply Chain Excellence gives readers all the practical tools they need, whether they’re trying to improve the performance of an existing supply chain system or implement a new one.
