How Five CSCMP Supply Chain Hall of Famers Shaped the Industry
About this book
In The Making of the Supply Chain, Remko van Hoek explores the stories of five very different supply chain pioneers—George Stephenson, Henry Ford, George Lauer, Elizabeth Dole, and J. B. Hunt—to demonstrate how innovations in supply chain management have changed the world by reshaping how we obtain our products and services.
Van Hoek reflects on these leaders' seminal achievements in supply chain management, relates their breakthroughs to current best practices and opportunities for the future, and chronicles how other leaders have converted lessons from these Hall of Famers into new breakthroughs.
Informed by his work with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) Supply Chain Hall of Fame,Van Hoek presents these inspiring stories in an engaging and highly accessible style.
