Previous Edition: Your company's competitiveness and your career success will be determined by how well you execute supply management strategies and tactics. This book tells you why and how. Paul Novak - CEO - Institute of Supply Management - formerly the National Association of Purchasing Management - 'The World's Preeminent Supply Management Organization' Supply Chain Management is a topic about which much is being written. Rarely, however, is an author as well qualified to explain this subject as Greg Hutchins. Even more unusual is his perception that Supply Chain Management is all about managing processes. Project management and risk assessment and management are also integral to successful SCM, but seldom recognized. A bulls-eye! Hutchins's presentation of the subject matter is immediately relevant, clear and comprehensive. This book is a must-read for all organizations concerned with their ability to compete and provide value to their customers. Jeff Israel, Chief Satisfaction Officer, SatisFaction Strategies LLC. Not only is the information in this book presented in an integrated way, it is both practical and realistic. This book will be useful to all levels of supply professionals. It is the essential tool to direct us to successfully manage this strategic activity.

Attention supply chain stakeholders: buy and read this book cover-to-cover to experience the success and corporate recognition you deserve. Dr. Charles J. Teplitz Professor Of Operations Management University of San Diego Other books I've read on Supply Management or Supplier Quality have focused on one aspect of the Customer Supplier relationship. This book and it's approach leads the reader through what the supply chain is, the value the supply chain has and how to improve the effectiveness of the supply chain. I especially like the emphasis placed on how to improve the supply chain, all it's elements and to use it as a competitive weapon. Focus on the big picture and examine ways of streamlining the supply chain to add value to the organization and position the organization for growth. Linking the traditional supply management approaches with Lean, Six Sigma and Baldrige award approaches reminds the reader of the work and attention that must be provided to be competitive in the market place.
