Velocity Management in Logistics and Distribution (eBook, ePUB)

Lessons from the Military to Secure the Speed of Business

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Velocity Management in Logistics and Distribution chronicles the important lessons learned from the Army's transition away from a Cold War logistics mentality. This mentality resulted from a "mass theory," which proposed that more days of supply kept in inventory led to a more responsive system. Modern business has proven that supply chains need to be more flexible and must respond quickly to changing needs (more "velocity"). This book explains the security aspects of supply chains, how to achieve velocity in the supply chain, and how to apply military theory, practices, and lessons learned to existing supply chains. The author concludes with a summary of key themes and their applications to modern supply chains.
