It provides a clear picture and extensive guidance for leaders to connect all the dots of a chosen business strategy with a supply chain strategy, and links this to the right business performance measurement. Prof. Dr. Bram DeSmet has created a masterpiece which can be used for any business transformation and I am convinced that winning companies will implement the methods described in the book as part of their business excellence journey towards sustainable success., Improving service, while optimizing cost and working capital is the mission of supply chain at Owens Corning. The supply chain triangle introduced in this book captures the dynamics involved and what are the strategic limitations. A must-read for any supply chain professional., A very timely book. As the fundamentals of supply chain are being redefined by the digital revolution, it is absolutely needed for supply chain executives to become much more proficient with the financial metrics of supply chains to assess the benefits and costs of those technologies. Metrics beyond cost, like cash, are going to define the future evolution of digital supply chains and change current practices dramatically., This book is a milestone in the evolution of supply chain planning literature. It presents a comprehensive methodology for connecting supply chain improvements to business performance, a topic that has not been often addressed. I would recommend this book as a must-read to all supply chain practitioners., Excellent companies have more than good products and marketing, above all they have a perfect supply chain. By using the supply chain triangle of Bram DeSmet , organizations can fulfil their promises to their customers. The supply chain triangle takes care of the right balance between service to customers, the costs customer are willing to pay and the cash the organization must generate to be able to exist and to innovate.

SynopsisSupply Chain Strategy and Financial Metrics is a step-by-step guide to balancing the triangle of service, cost and cash which is the essence of supply chain management. Supply chains have become increasingly strategy-driven, and this Supply Chain Triangle approach puts the supply chain at the heart of the strategy discussion instead of seeing it as a result. Supply Chain Strategy and Financial Metrics fully reflects the 'inventory' or 'working capital' angle and examines the optimisation of the supply chain and Return on Capital Employed. Including case studies of Barco, Casio and a selection of food retail companies, this book covers building a strategy-driven KPI dashboard, target setting and financial benchmarking. Regular examples and diagrams illustrate how different types of strategies lead to different trade-offs in the Supply Chain Triangle. This ground-breaking text links supply chain, strategy and finance through financial metrics, therefore creating value for the shareholder. Online supporting resources include worksheets covering basic financial concepts such as cash flow and working capital, with example data sets and guidelines/exercises to make it interactive.
