Year: 2016 Language: english Author: Martin Christopher Genre: Textbook Publisher: Pearson Education Ltd. Edition: Fifth ISBN: 9781292083797 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 350 Description: This edition is the newest edition of a best-selling book on logistics and the supply chain, written by the international guru on the topic, Dr. Martin Christopher. It is the UK's bestselling book on logistics and supply chain management with over 100,000 copies sold. When the first edition of this book was published back in 1992, supply chain management as an idea was still in its infancy and relatively few companies had made it a priority. The same was true for logistics management, although its precursor, distribution management, was increasingly being recognised as important, both in terms of cost and for its potential impact on sales. In the intervening years from the first to the fifth edition, many things have happened. Firstly, there is now a much greater understanding of the role that supply chain management plays in creating competitive advantage. Whereas previously the focus was primarily tactical with a concern for optimising costs, now there is much more of a strategic focus with the emphasis on value creation and delivery. The second major change is the recognition that supply chain management is not just an extension of logistics management, but rather that it is about managing relationships across the complex networks that today's supply chains have become. A third significant change over that period is that the business environment has become a lot more volatile and hence less predictable. This transition from a relatively stable world to one that is much more turbulent requires supply chains to be capable of changing rapidly to meet changed circumstances. These changes are reflected in the additional material included in this 5th edition. Thus, complexity management and the challenge of making the transition from a forecast-driven to a demand-driven business model are given greater emphasis. Effective development and management of supply chain networks helps businesses cut costs and enhance customer value. This updated 5th edition is a clear guide to all the key topics in an integrated approach to supply chains. As well as new and updated examples and case studies, there are also the following two new chapters: (1) Routes to Market: Many companies now have to manage multiple distribution channels. This chapter covers strategic issues on how companies "go to market" along with the cost implications of using alternative channels, and (2) Service Logistics: As companies begin to sell performance rather than physical products, this chapter explores the implications for logistics management as the need to provide higher levels of service and customer support becomes ever more critical. This book is a classic textbook for many Universities in the field of “Logistics and Supply Chain Management” in which shipping of goods by whatever means is involved.
