CSCMP Releases New Book, "Communicating The Value Of Supply Chain Management To Your CEO"
The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals' (CSCMP's) latest publication, Communicating the Value of Supply Chain Management to Your CEO, is now available.
Written by Dr. Karl B. Manrodt and Dr. Stephen Rutner, both associate professors at Georgia Southern University, and Dr. Brian Gibson, associate professor of logistics at Auburn University, this book enables logistics and supply chain management (SCM) professionals to gain visibility in their companies by discovering how to communicate the value of SCM to their CEOs.
This book is written for any C-level executive (CXO) and for senior logistics and supply chain management professionals. It serves as a call to develop integrated and aligned supply chains. As is the case with all successful corporate transformation, the support of the C-level executive is absolutely essential for success.
Communicating the Value of Supply Chain Management to Your CEO is a valuable tool to help practitioners educate their C-level executives about the important role that logistics and supply chain management play in their overall operations, and how their companies' success is strongly influenced by supply chain excellence.
Security issues are highlighting the importance of logistics processes and freight flows. New legislation places greater responsibility on corporate officers to understand not just what value they provide to customers, but how that value is delivered. As a result, CEOs, CFOs, and COOs are beginning to realize that visibility in the supply chain is a critical component to achieving world-class excellence. The findings of this book indicate that upper-level management has begun the journey towards a greater understanding of SCM.
Communicating the Value of Supply Chain Management to Your CEO is a soft cover, 24-page publication. The book costs $39.95 US for CSCMP members; $49.95 US for nonmembers. Copies can be ordered at the CSCMP online bookstore at www.cscmp.org.
