Next, the authors drill down to offer detailed guidance on several crucial aspects of supply chain management. You'll discover new ways to identify, prioritize, and mitigate risk; balance cost and customer responsiveness through advanced distribution centers; integrate purchasing and logistics more effectively; and attract and develop world-class talent.

The book concludes with the authors' Top Ten actions for creating tomorrow's world-class supplychain, practical tools for assessing where you stand,and detailed guidance for creating your new Action Plan.
