Book excerpt: Right in the centre of the bull’s eye, in the middle of the supply chain management universe, sits production planning and scheduling. Whether you are making to order, or making to stock, or something in the middle (such as assemble to order, or sub-assemble to order, or some other variant of the postponement strategy), production planning is where the demand meets the supply in its most brutal reality. Err on one side, and you make too much, and waste. Err on the other side, and you make too little, and run out. The pressure is intense, the stakes are very high and nobody is happy – no matter how much you reconcile the opposites. Yet, you have to do this on a daily basis in every production plant. This report helps you do it as best as you could.

Download or read book Global Supply Chain Group s Guide to Supply Chain Governance written by Vivek Sood and published by Global Supply Chain Group. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boards are Remarkably Good At Corporate Governance, and Yet Face the Flak For It Everybody who has spent any time with boards of directors lives and breathes corporate governance. The corporate governance process is designed and run with almost military precision to give effect to the legislative requirements and commercial exigencies with only a few board meetings a year. Due to the focused attention of some of the best people in the corporate world and significant budgetary allocation, the governance of what falls within the four walls of the company itself is done with a remarkable efficiency almost all the time. So, the natural question is why then such a lot of hoopla in the press about corporate governance. Where does it fail for the 3Ps (the press, the politicians, and the preachers from the NGOs) to make such a lot of noise about it? This question merits a little deeper exploration because almost all failures of corporate governance lie elsewhere. After visiting with numerous boards and having spent countless hours past midnight preparing board presentations, papers and submissions, we have become convinced that lack of corporate governance is not the real culprit in most cases. That infamy lies at the behest of supply chain governance.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Practical Supply Chain Management written by Vivek Sood and published by Global Supply Chain Group. This book was released on 2003-01-11 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone knows the fundamentals of supply chain management. Right? Then what is the need for this guide? Well, for one thing, there is an evergrowing army of new entrants - graduates who have been taught the wrong thing by the university professors. Things such as "supply chain and logistics are same." OR, "supply chain and procurement are the same" or even "supply chain and warehousing are the same". And, many more such fallacies that prove dangerous in real life. Just look at the number of books and articles that use the terms supply chain and logistics (or procurement) interchangeably. The writers would benefit from knowing the difference between the two disciplines. So would the readers that trust those writers.
