紹介
Supply Chain Visibility is a critical primer for readers with backgrounds in supply chain management, system integration, strategy consulting, and enterprise software. The first section reviews research done to date on supply chain visibility and sets the stage for a new framework that empowers business leaders to connect their projects, tasks or work streams back to a strategic message about why supply chain visibility is worth having organizational resources applied to it. McIntyre reviews the prerequisites needed for a successful visibility solution and suggests a visibility fitness scorecard which enables comparison of the quality of widely varying approaches. The second section of the book begins with detailed reviews of the eight most common types of supply chain visibility and offers for each one a set of indicators of potential fit. McIntyre looks at how to acquire visibility technology and the available options, including guidance on best practice for in-house designed systems. The book closes with a look at the cutting edge of supply chain visibility technology and at technologies not yet widely adopted that will revolutionize the visibility solution space.
