Strategies for Supply Chain Risk Management

Strategies for Supply Chain Risk Management

Examining the negative consequences that arise from supply chain risks this book systematically explores firms’ responses to these risks in different situations. In particular it focuses on sourcing strategies of firms under supply chain risks and the different mitigation tools they use such as supplier development and multisourcing. Supply chains have expanded extensively because many firms try to take advantage of outsourcing of their raw materials and critical components. Though firms can reap significant benefits due to the widespread use of outsourcing they have to deal with increasing supply chain risks. In general supply chain risks are various and may be originated from natural disasters labor strikes fires and so on. These risk incidents can cause serious damage to firms’ profit performance. The analysis and insights from this book can be utilized by firms to alleviate the impact of supply chain risks in the sourcing process.

Critical Chain A Business Novel

Critical Chain A Business Novel

This fast-paced business novel does for project management what The Goal and It's Not Luck have done for production and marketing. Goldratt‘s novels have traditionally slain sacred cows and delivered new ways of looking at processes which seem like common sense once you read them. Critical Chain is no exception. In perhaps Eli‘s most readable book yet two of the established principles of project management the engineering estimate and project milestones are found wanting and dismissed and other established principles are up for scrutiny - as Goldratt once more applies his Theory of Constraints. The approach is radical yet clear understandable and logical. New techniques are introduced and Project Buffers Feeding Buffers Limit Multitasking Improved Communications and Correct Measurements make them work. Goldratt even handles the complicated statistics of dispersed variability versus accumulated variability so deftly you won‘t even be aware of learning about them - they ll just seem like more common sense! Critical Chain is critical reading for anyone who deals with projects. If you use block diagrams drawings or charts to keep track of your activities you are managing a project - and this book is for you. | Critical Chain A Business Novel
