Supply Chain for Liquids: Out of the Box Approaches to Liquid
Logistics provides a thorough analysis of liquid logistics, a
crucial but often overlooked business issue. It covers a broad
range of topics including the business, operational, and technical
aspects of the Supply Chain for Liquidsâ model, allowing readers
to leverage the inherent properties of liquids toward business
success. This volume details an approach that is justified based on
both business and social/environmental value, offering a
groundbreaking "how-to" guide for revolutionizing logistical
operations and increasing competitive advantage. It challenges
traditional thinking, enabling businesses to identify new ways to
maximize efficiency and profit.
A Whole World of Supply Chain Opportunity I Didn't Know Was ThereReviewed by Mary Ritchie, 2005-11-22
I was sceptical when I first noticed this book because I don't
consider liquids an important part of the supply chain in our
company. This book is a real eye-opener! First Klatch peels back
the covers that are "hiding" liquids in so many businesses like
ours, and then goes on to show how much more effectively we can
handle these products than what we are doing now.
I really liked the "real world" approach in the book. Rather than
throwing some theoretical method out there, it shows how we can
improve to different levels in our handling of the liquid supply
chain, we can go as far as we want at any particular time using the
methods described in the book.
Finally, the book understands that there is a real human reader on
the other end and uses a lot of examples and stories from business,
science, and history to make its point. I'll never think of "silo
thinking" the same way again!
