In this book by leading Total Operations consultant James A. Tompkins, Ph.D., you will learn how to achieve SCS while reducing costs and inventory while boosting profits.SCS is a holistic, continuous improvement process of ensuring customer satisfaction from the original raw material provider to the ultimate finished product consumer. SCS is the synthesis of the supply chain where synthesis is the integration, the unification, and the bringing together of the supply chain links to form a whole.SCS has no boundaries. It also recognizes that competition in today s marketplace is not company vs. company, but supply chain vs. supply chain, and that sometimes companies that were once like fighting sisters and brothers are now allies in the war between supply chains. SCS is a revolution. You and your organization can create this revolution. Jim Tompkins shares his wealth of knowledge and experience to show you how.
