Demand-Driven Supply Chain Management: Transformational Performance Improvement

Many manufacturing and distribution companies are moving from the traditional 'forecast push MRP' to demand-driven supply chain management (SCM).

Demand-driven SCM is an 'end-to-end' supply chain planning and replenishment process that enables companies to achieve their planned service levels from up to half the average level of inventory and requiring significantly less throughput capacity - irrespective of the level of demand volatility or lead-time length.

Demand-Driven Supply Chain Management is the go-to source for industry supply chain/operations executives and students.

It describes the 'what, how and why' of the demand-driven SCM process.

The key themes in the book are: what is demand-driven?

why is demand-driven so effective?

how to operate a demand-driven supply chain?

and how to adopt the demand-driven process in your company?

Readers can quickly grasp the essential concepts from one of numerous self-contained sections that present the book's key concepts from different perspectives.
