Demand driven supply chain: a structured and practical roadmap to increase profitability

This book aims to identify and describe the practical key components of demand driven supply chains, and based on these components, develops a structured and integrated assessment framework that companies can use to assess their current and desired future supply chain states in light of the Demand Driven Supply Chain (DDSC) concepts. Another contribution of the book is the structured framework developed to design a supply chain strategy, which will consider the DDSC assessment results as one of the key inputs, and will support the implementation of the opportunities identified during the assessment. The framework presented in this book was applied in different supply chain operations of a global CPG company to validate the methodology and formalize an action plan to allow these operations move towards a DDSC. Results show clear opportunities to improve supply chain operation and become more demand driven. Readers will be able to read and apply what they learn using author's web site. Provides in one single source a detailed and practical description of the components of a demand driven supply chain. Gives detailed step-by-step process on how to build a supply chain strategy to become demand driven Built based on both practical and robust academic research. INDICE: Introduction.
