Textbook:Supply chain management best practices， 3rd Edition

Author(s): David Blanchard


Course description:
The course is designed into three parts.
Part 1 opens with a brief introduction to supply chain management (Chapter 1), looks at examples of some best-in-class supply chains in a number of different industries (Chapter 2), and discusses ways to measure the performance of a supply chain (Chapter 3).
Part 2 presents the traditional core processes of supply chain management. Chapters 4 through 10 follow the progression of plan, source, make, deliver, return, and enable, and related points in between, and discuss in detail the best practices being followed by specific trendsetting companies.
Part 3 looks at best practices in strategic areas that have become increasingly important to supply chain management as we settle into the third decade of this century: third-party logistics (Chapter 11); risk management and business continuity, including a look at how supply chains reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic (Chapter 12); supply chain technology (Chapter 13); sustainability and corporate social responsibility (Chapter 14); and an allnew chapter on supply chain finance (Chapter  15). Finally, Chapter  16 focuses on the ultimate best practice: hiring and developing best-in-class supply chain personnel.
