Supply
Chain Collaboration: How To
Implement CPFR And Other Best
Collaborative Practices
de
Ronald K. Ireland, Colleen
Crum
Book
Description
Ron Ireland was one of the
leaders in Wal-Mart’s
effort to develop its supply
chain processes for collaborative
forecasting and replenishment
execution using retail links
for communicating point-of-sale,
forecasts, and inventory
information to its suppliers.
As a result he helped pioneer
the retail industry standard
called Collaborative Planning,
Forecasting and Replenishment
(CPFR). This collaborative
process, which involves
sharing information with
supply chain partners in
real-time, enables substantially
improved planning and financial
results. Using his extensive
knowledge and first-hand
experience, Ireland, with
Colleen Crum, demonstrates
what is necessary to achieve
successful win-win trading
partner collaborations and
describes what companies
give up when they don’t
collaborate.
Since
an effective supply chain
collaboration effort requires
flexibility when adapting
to each partner’s
capabilities and the business
environment, this book presents
a blueprint that you can
customize to fit your company’s
and your company’s
trading partners’
needs to achieve success.
Supply Chain Collaboration
shows you how to implement
CPFR and other best collaborative
practices quickly and successfully
in almost any organization.
Wal-Mart, Procter &
Gamble and other highly
successful companies are
reaping huge competitive
benefits from the CPFR process.
Learn from the "visionary
pioneer" of CPFR how
your organization can as
well.
