Measuring the Value of the Supply Chain: Linking Financial Performance and Supply Chain Decisions

Enrico Camerinelli provides the supply chain manager and the chief financial officer with the means to link the value of supply chain to an organization's bottom line. He explores the problem with current supply chain metrics, shows how to close the gap between financial decisions and supply chain performance, suggests a model to provide a lingua franca for supply chain, financial and other managers throughout the company and points to ways in which new technology can help measure the value of supply chain. Using case studies and interviews with supply chain and financial experts, this book is a call to arms for financial and supply chain managers seeking to achieve strategic advantage through effective supply chain management.
