“Supply Chain Management Best Practices” (Second Edition)
By David Blanchard
Wiley Best Practices; John Wiley & Sons, Inc

The book identifies some of the world’s best supply chains, and discusses why they are so in case format. Companies like Dell, Boeing, P&G, Apple, or Pfizer have very unique solutions to their unique supply chain challenges. The book mentions the AMR research which identified world’s 10 best supply chains in 2009. Apple topped it and Dell stood second. The author also identifies the top metrics which can be used to measure supply chain effectiveness and finds that inventory turnover is perhaps the best of those. It’s highly recommended for all supply chain practitioners and interested business managers.
