Reviews
"""Walker provides a comprehensive process for creating or modifying an end-to-end supply chain network. His 8-step methodology and the 20-step blueprint are a must approach for anyone building a new supply chain network or modifying an existing one. Walker’s approach reflects 40 years of hands on experience in supply chains. His subject matter expertise is reflected throughout the book through his clear writing style and inclusion of supporting figures and tables. The use of a storyline gives the reader an easy-to-read introduction to each chapter and the inclusion of rarely discussed topics like relationships and returns are engaging. I like the use of value circles for comparing 'as is' to 'to be' performance measures as well as the inclusion of a chapter on risk management. This a must-read book for all supply chain practitioners."" -Jeffrey L. Johnson, Senior Business Analyst"
