Riassunto

The value chain describes the actions (such as design, production, marketing, and distribution) that organizations take to bring a product from its conception to its end use (and beyond). The value chain can take place within or between firms, within a single geographic location or spread across a wide area, and can produce goods or services. Its overall goal is to create value that exceeds the cost of production/service and generates a profit margin. Building Effective Value Chains gives practical, easily understood advice on enhancing the value chains, supported by case studies. Author Tom McGuffog covers realizing value and value chain management; the optimal sequence of decisions; the value in value chain management; constructing sound value chain process and data architectures; value chain collaboration and competition; effective and integrated value chain planning; managing uncertainty; and valuable steps to success and future value chain R&D.

Recensione:

"Tom and I have discussed over many years how best to develop shard business process and data standards whereby customers and supplies, including competitors, can best design and run modern supply chains to serve the customer more cost-effectively. Most recently we have debated what we should mean by Value and how best it can be realised through sound management. I trust this book will stimulate you to look afresh at your Value Chains." (Sir Iain Anderson, former Director of Unilever for Strategy and Technology)

"Tom and I worked together over many years to introduce modern supply chain management into Rowntree Mackintosh and Nestle. The practical results were substantial in terms of customer service, inventory management and supplier relationships. We place particular emphasis on sound data defined in such a way as to promote effective joint management of our value chain. I commend this book for your value chains." ) --(Peter Blackburn CBE, former Chairman of Rowntree Mackintosh and Chief Executive of Nestle France, then Nestle UK. Sometime president of the Food and Drink Federation)

He looks at the problems it has experienced in the past, using specific examples, and how it can be utilised to improve performance in the future in the private, public, and charitable sectors of the economy and society. It is a must read for all managers." --(Professor Lord Smith of Clifton)
