Value Chain Management Excellence

The application of advanced technologies in all the three value chain management time horizons (Strategic Planning, Tactical Planning, and Operational Execution) will be the difference between adequate and great value chain performance.

Enterprises fail to master great value chain management because they often approach these projects in the same manner as they do enterprise resource planning (ERP) projects; they ignore the difference between an intra-enterprise transactional system and an inter-enterprise value chain execution/planning system.

Key Issues: How can supply chain planners identify the technologies and applications that will generate maximum benefit for their value chains?

Bottom line: To achieve greater Supply Chain Excellence, consider the 3 time horizons; Strategic Planning, Tactical Planning, Operational Execution.
