Containing
hundreds of tips and insights, the Handbook describes the evolution of
supply chain management. It explores how the techniques now popular in
strategic planning and operations improvement will find new applications
in managing supply chains. The book emphasizes changing supply chains
rather than merely maintaining them. Case studies illustrate the
application of these techniques. For a chapter-by-chapter list of best

Comments
from Supply Chain Management Review:
“The
collaborative approach distinguishes this book from the many other
supply chain management “handbooks published in the last few years. The
book states at the outset that it strives to “clarify both the theory
and practice’ of supply chain management. By effectively combining the
strategic discussion and the mini-cases, the Handbook of Supply Chain
Management has in large part accomplished that goal.”
"Supply Chain Strategy, Tactics, and Metrics in one Reference."
Reviewer: Richard R. Smith, Vice President, Material Solutions,

“Executives who want to improve their supply chains from strategic,
operational or profitability standpoints will find this Handbook to be
an extremely valuable reference, coach and how-to guide. The mix of
Supply Chain Management theory and practice combined with 15 case
studies from various industries, gives the reader a robust framework
for, and solid tips on executing, an SCM improvement strategy.
As an
executive with supply chain experience at Dell and in the global
automotive industry, I was impressed with the comprehensive nature of
this book. Especially insightful and helpful are the sections on
designing supply chains for strategic advantage, the importance and
impact of different financial costing methods, and a methodologies
section, which walks the reader through the supply chain improvement
process from the prestudy/assessment phase through to implementation.
Overall, if a supply chain practitioner is looking for one book on
Supply Chain Management, this is the one.”
