Product DescriptionOver the past decade organizations have faced relentless customer demand for better value at less cost, individual customization, greater choice, faster delivery, higher quality, exceptional service, and more recently – increased environmental and social consciousness. The organization’s weapon of choice to address this increasing demand has been the supply chain. However, as the supply chain footprint changed (e.g. outsourcing, off-shoring and customer/vendor empowerment) so did the organization’s exposure to uncertainty. Organizations were taken by surprise since this exposure was unanticipated, complex and beyond their ability to manage. As customers become more demanding and change occurs at an even greater pace, supply chain risk continues to propagate like a parasite. Organizations and societies are at much greater risk of systemic failure because of the massive interdependency throughout global supply chains. The priority now is two-fold; play catch-up and address these massive gaps while deploying more intelligent and integrated strategies (i.e. social aware, instinctive, dynamic and predictive) for dealing with continuous change. Single Point of Failure: The 10 Essential Laws of Supply Chain Risk Management uses analogies and dozens of case histories to describe the risk parasite that infects all supply chains while revealing methods to neutralize that parasite. The book addresses the questions: What are the "single points of failure"? How exposed are customers, investors, other stakeholders and ultimately the organization? What is the measurable impact (i.e. brand, financial, strategic, and non-compliance)? Who establishes the "risk paradigm"? How does the organization efficiently and effectively allocate precious resources - time, people, management attention, and capital? How is success measured? This book is both technically powerful and effectively realistic, based on today's complex global economy.
From the Inside FlapSingle Point of Failure It is mind-boggling to consider what it takes to produce the products we depend on—critical drugs like blood thinners, plastic-based products such as syringes, isotopes for medical imaging, and milk-based baby formula. Or maybe your livelihood depends on your ability to transport products, on your customers having access to your online order entry system, or on the timely receipt of parts from your suppliers on the other side of the world. The occurrence of a single point of failure—whether a product contamination, labor strike, trade credit crunch, an earthquake, or a health crisis—can interrupt the flow of goods and cause total systemic failure.
Written by internationally recognized industry veteran Gary Lynch, Single Point of Failure: The Ten Essential Laws of Supply Chain Risk Management reveals just that—the ten vital laws to successfully identifying, measuring, mitigating, and financing risk, with guidance for establishing your organization's supply risk management program, avoiding bad decisions, and gathering better information and data to make good decisions.
Here, you'll discover:
- How to establish your organization's supply risk management program
- Why no risk strategy is a solution for bad decisions
- What causes supply chain risk management demand to trump supply
- The sourcing strategies that create more risk, not less
- Why managing the parts does not equal managing the whole
- What the best policy is for knowing what's in your policy
