Recommendation

Many CEOs regard supply chain and sourcing operations as having “about the same…sex appeal as broccoli.” But good supply chain management and thoughtful sourcing can substantially contribute to a company’s success in the market. Supply chain and sourcing can increase revenue, improve profitability, reduce risk and drive excellence in the business. Supply chain and sourcing expert Suman Sarkar explains how good supply chains work and explores how companies can profit by developing their supply chain and sourcing operations. With the right leadership, the supply chain and sourcing functions can provide more of a competitive edge than product development or marketing. getAbstract recommends Sarkar’s report to senior executives and to supply chain and sourcing insiders.

Take-Aways

  • Most CEOs don’t understand sourcing or supply chain management.
  • Firms that are successful in disruptive times such as Zara, TJX and others have used sourcing and supply chain as a competitive tool and not as back office organizations.
  • CEOs rarely know how to fix supply or sourcing problems and, generally, don’t do very much to enhance these operations.
