The Little Black Book of Supply Chains: How Organizations Get, Use, and Dispose of Almost Everything
Sentia Publishing
2022
Abstract
Empty store shelves? Slow delivery? High gas prices? The Little Black Book of Supply Chains draws on the broad experience of its authors in consulting and academic research to give the reader an entertaining, insightful overview of supply chains. In recent months, we've heard much about supply chain disruptions, supply shortages, and rising prices. This book helps you understand how supply chains work and how firms should respond to supply chain challenges. It starts each chapter with a short story that ties the contents of the chapter to everyday life, history, or straightforward concepts. This book may not fill the shelves with toilet paper, baby formula, or tennis balls, but it will help you understand why the shelves are empty and what firms can do about it.
This book introduces supply chains. It opens each chapter with a vignette and covers key concepts throughout. It is especially suited for beginning and foundational classes, and for executive seminars for non-supply chain managers. Chapter 14 addresses supply chain disruptions like Covid19 and wars.
