How to use this book  ?

Bonjour my English readers! Welcome to my first English-language book.
 

This is not an ordinary supply chain management how-to guide. It is a detective novel that can be read from start to finish in one weekend. However, much like in one of my favorite books, Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt’s groundbreaking work, The Goal, readers will discover valuable information about different ways to improve a company and to implement change woven into the plot of the story.

 

Therefore, if you have a serious interest in the “how-to” part of supply chain management best practices, demand driven methodologies, and the S&OP (sales and operations planning) process, then this book is definitely for you.

There are 33 “clues” along the margins of the book. These indicate the availability of additional information on two pages appendices that introduce more in-depth treatment of topics concerning supply chain management. These appendices are displayed in 3 sections: People, Tools & Methods & Processes, Demand Driven Adaptive Enterprise to cover traditional best practices and innovative ones as well as change management principles to implement them successfully. As supply chain management best practices evolve rapidly, these appendices be updated continuously by top international certified experts.
 

This website also have an index and bibliography for further reading on those subjects and introduce you to the international experts who wrote the appendices. Don't hesitate to contact them for more information or for services.

This book, as well as the 33 appendices, are part of the material available to pass the test of the newest course of the Demand Driven Institute: Adaptive Enterprise Foundations.

A bientôt!
