Riassunto:

Unchained: Building Next Generation Supply Chain Systems for the Changing Restaurant Industry explores the vital characteristics and attributes that are critical for building efficient and successful supply chains.

Unchained is organized into three distinct parts. Part I provides a background baseline knowledge of the restaurant industry, the changing agricultural and geopolitical world, and the role of foodservice supply chains as vital to the success of the foodservice industry. In Part II, the eight key pillars that are essential for creating high-performing foodservice supply chains are presented. Part III provides a diagnostic methodology for assessing the performance of a supply system, including the determination of its benefits and return on investment. Each chapter includes learning objectives, key terms, discussion questions, and a case example that runs throughout the book to support connections between critical concepts and real-world application.

Unchained is an essential resource for future and current foodservice industry professionals committed to building effective supply chain systems.
