In a search for a competitive differential advantage, many managers of world-class organizations have come to realize that differentiating on processes is more sustainable than differentiating on products. Supply chain management is the forward-looking process of coordinating assets to optimize the delivery of goods, services, and information from supplier to customer, balancing supply and demand. Supply chain management looks after current processes (including the ones originated in pure service industries) and determine methods for orchestrating the execution flow, the information flow and the financial flow in supply chains. Supply chain managers look at the whole supply chain from upstream to downstream with both a short- and a long-term mindset. They also troubleshoot breakdowns along the supply chain and respond fluidly to unexpected events.

Abstract
In a search for a competitive differential advantage, many managers of world-class organizations have come to realize that differentiating on processes is more sustainable than differentiating on products. Supply chain management is the forward-looking process of coordinating assets to optimize the delivery of goods, services, and information from supplier to customer, balancing supply and demand. Supply chain management looks after current processes (including the ones originated in pure service industries) and determine methods for orchestrating the execution flow, the information flow and the financial flow in supply chains. Supply chain managers look at the whole supply chain from upstream to downstream with both a short- and a long-term mindset. They also troubleshoot breakdowns along the supply chain and respond fluidly to unexpected events.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
