Strategy-Driven Supply Chain: Integrating Strategy, Finance and Supply Chain for a Competitive Edge

It emphasizes the need for integrated value planning and execution and uses a strategy-driven scorecard with a focus on Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) as the overall value metric. It includes tools to put these ideas into action, real-life examples, and case studies to illustrate the impact of strategy on the supply chain and financial metrics.

Strategies shape diverse supply chains, and a lack of strategic decision-making can result in a blurred focus. This book introduces the concept of the strategy-driven supply chain, which transforms the supply chain's role from operational to tactical and strategic. Building upon the foundations of the author's previous bestselling work, Supply Chain Strategy and Financial Metrics, this new publication establishes a mission and purpose for supply chain management, placing the supply chain at the center of the service, cost, and cash triangle.

The Strategy-Driven Supply Chain delves into the importance of integrated value planning and execution as the next phase beyond S&OP and IBP. It explains how to utilize a strategy-driven scorecard, emphasizing Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) as the overarching value metric. The book offers a range of tools to implement these ideas, such as a method for analyzing financial metrics and comparing them to key competitors, as well as exercises to define an organization's strategic choices (or lack thereof). It also features real-life examples of how to leverage the supply chain triangle to engage sales, finance, and operations, along with case studies that demonstrate the impact of strategy on supply chain performance and financial metrics.

This practical guide provides a comprehensive seven-step framework for integrating the people, process, tooling, and analytics aspects of the change journey toward the strategy-driven supply chain. By embracing this approach, organizations can unlock new levels of efficiency, agility, and profitability in their supply chain operations.
