Toyota and General Motors have a long and competitive history in Automotive products and a unique supply chain structure between them. The Tale of Two Supply Chain connects the dots between the success and pitfalls of these unique Supply Chains, contrasting their philosophies, strategies, and tactics. The book is about how to position YOUR COMPANY by choosing the right mix of supply chain strategy. The book is divided into two parts - a narrative and the Supply Chain theory. Together the two elements provide the context for each action. The background narrative follows the parallel story of two men, Steven and Kevin Radue, managing the supply chains at two large Automotive companies. The first company is struggling to find its way back to lead in quality, after an astounding 30% growth since 2001. In growing its supply base across oceans, it has lost its quality controls and customer focus. The second company is struggling to meet its new product launches and reach leader status in cost margins, after the company's recent financial reorganization. This is their story, their struggles, and their way forward. The book is based on an outside-in perspective from the results of a multi-year study with in-depth supplier surveys, conducted in the US and in Asia. While each company, goes through a painful evolution in products and supply chain, this book is presented in an easy to digest format, so that businesses can learn the linkage between the supply chain philosophies, strategies and the tactics. By tuning in this process, business can learn how to: - Improve Supply Chain processes and speed of execution, two to three times.- Build-in quality with every employee, every supplier, and at every process.- Eliminate costs due to waste in the supply process.- Build quality into workplace systems and make standard processes.- Apply counter-intuitive solutions, such as through Lean, One-piece flow and Theory of Constraints.- Understand how to develop supply chain into a competitive advantage.- Use Jishuken network for fast learning and fail forward loops.About the book: "... a must-read for anyone in Supply Chain.
