Strategic Supply Chain Management: The Five Core Disciplines for Top Performance, Second Editon
Praise For Strategic Supply Chain Management:
This book shows convincingly that a robust supply chain strategy is critical for business success in today's uncertain economic environment. Cohen and Roussel explain not only what makes for a good supply chain strategy but also how to put that strategy into practice.
-- Jim Miller, VP, Worldwide Operations, Google
Strategic Supply Chain Management loudly and clearly makes the case that successful companies' supply chain strategies are closely aligned with their competitive differentiation and operating models. The book uses in-depth examples that bring these concepts to life and demonstrate that one size doesn't fit all. Anyone who thinks operations is just another corporate function needs to read this book.
-- Manish Bhatia, SVP, Worldwide Operations, SanDisk
The advent of global marketplaces, heightened competition, accelerated pace of product innovation, and fast-changing customer preferences have increased the impact of the supply chain on company profitability and long-term success. But cultural challenges to successful supply chain design remain. Cohen and Roussel's book provides a platform for addressing these challenges and is recommended reading for chief executives, strategy professionals, and supply chain practitioners.
-- Martin Roper, Chief Executive Officer and President, Boston Beer
The authors present a straightforward path for developing and deploying a global supply chain strategy that addresses the priorities of today's executive management teams.
--Hau Lee, Thoma Professor of Operations, Information and Technology, Stanford Graduate School of Business
The classic guide to supply chain strategy--re-created to help business leaders gain an advantage in today's volatile, globalized arena
The global landscape has changed dramatically since the first edition of Strategic Supply Chain Management established itself as the authority on creating value and achieving competitive advantage from the supply chain. Shorter economic cycles, more-frequent natural disasters, higher costs in low-cost countries, more-restricted access to working capital, and greater focus on sustainability have made effective supply chain management much more challenging--and much more critical to the bottom line.
This second edition is your answer to gaining a strategic advantage in the face of these challenges. Drawing on dozens of new company examples as well as cutting-edge benchmarking research, it shows you how to make your supply chains more agile, flexible, and resilient.
With 80 easy-to-read tables and diagrams, this fully revised book explains how to:
Develop a supply chain strategy that will help you realize your business goals
Design a process architecture that maps out the activities of the end-to-end supply chain
Create the most effective supply chain organization
Build the most beneficial relationships with your supply chain partners
Use metrics to assess and drive business success
Implement transformational change
See how today's best supply chain strategies work in all-new profiles of BASF, Essilor, Haier, Kaiser Permanente, Lenovo, and Schlumberger. Find out what these industry leaders are doing to get the greatest value out of their supply chains.
When value depends on how well you deliver, you need Strategic Supply Chain Management, Second Edition.

Mis amigos una tarde de lectura recreativa es más que un placer para el intelecto y aprender de los mejores está al alcance de los mejores libros y autores.
Hoy tuve la oportunidad de leer este libro Strategic Supply Chain Management - The 5 disciplines for top performance por Shoshanah Cohen & Josepth Roussel.
Partiendo primero cuáles son las 5 disciplinas clave que los autores desean compartir y reforzar como tendencias fuertes, destacadas en el ámbito del área de Compras Corporativas.
Core Discipline 1: View your supply chain as a strategic asset.
Core Discipline 2: Develop an End-to-end process architecture
Core Discipline 3: Design Your Organization for Performance
Core Discipline 4: Build the Right Collaborative Model
Core Discipline 5: Use Metrics to Drive Business Success
Este es un libro publicado en 2004, por lo que es interesante leer cómo en ese momento ocurrieron varios cambios de paradigmas y se redefinió el área de compras corporativas por una plataforma global al establecer lugares estratégicos que permitirán centralizar la toma de decisiones de la cadena de suministros fue tomando fuerza, partiendo de uno de los practicantes a gran escala como Avon, y luego otras empresas fueron observando la ganancia en eficiencia y manejo de sus negocios con estrategias que para los tiempos actuales en 2020 son comunes y de fácil asociación entre las multinacionales.
Este es un libro que me gustó, aunque ya han pasado más de 15 años, tiene varias lecciones que considero importante como las siguientes:
La importancia de las personas a integrar las nuevas tecnologías y tendencias de mercados, los resultados no vendrán solo por usar la tecnología depende de las persona que lo hagan posible.
Visualizar una organización no estática sin embargo envolvente con el mercado, con la misión de la empresa y sobre todo con los clientes.
La cadena de suministro del futuro tendrá un rol fundamental en conectar las necesidades de los clientes con las rutas más eficientes para llegar a dar resultados sorprendentes para los clientes.
Aprender a utilizar las métricas, y su debido entendimiento para la mejora continua.
Frases célebres del libro que me gustaría recordar.
"Next-generation supply chain strategies will support continuing improvements in productivity but also will drive the achievement of business-level outcomes with a strong focus on the customer. It will be important in the future to identify these objectives, which will include new revenue-generating services and time-to-market, time-to-volume, and customer-segment-specific capabilities.
In the future, the supply chain strategy also naturally will consider the supply chain as part of extended business architecture and consider key targeted outcomes with suppliers, customers, and partners as core elements".
"Your organizational design should not be static - it should evolve with your company".
"As you design your organization, keep in mind that technologies don´t deliver success - people do.

I will like the books that are wrote in a clear interesting way like this one. The book is made by consultants documenting their experience in helping their clients raising their supply-chains to higher levels & fixing their chronic problems that effect their companies position.
My main benefits from the book are:
1. SCOR framework that they proved to be a rich one in diagnosing supply chains.
2. Decent way to configure SC based on five criteria.
3. Change road map to companies supply chains.
