If you manage your supply chains successfully, you will be able to deliver your products and services to your customers in a smart, cost-effective way. And the key to successful supply chain management is recognizing that supply chains are so much more than warehouses, transport and technology. In fact it’s people who really drive the dynamic supply chains that are at the heart of your business, and to make the most of them and deliver what your customers want, when they want it, you need John Gattorna’s new dynamic alignment model.  This new edition of Dynamic Supply Chains, formerly called Living Supply Chains:  Goes beyond logistics, operations and procurement to include the real drivers of dynamic supply chains - the people who run them  Is updated to include the impact of the recession plus five new chapters, including creating appropriately aligned strategies, new and efficient organization designs, and the ‘forgotten half of the equation’, supply-side supply chains  Shows you how you and the whole leadership team can drive the activity necessary to create a truly customer-focused business  Includes diagnostic tools to help you assess how aligned your business and supply chains are with your markets and customers About the author  John Gattorna has been working in and around corporate logistics networks and   supply chains for over two decades. In the late 80s, disenchanted with the lack of predictive power in the logistics theories and practices of the day, he set out to find a new business model that would better inform the design and operation of enterprise supply chains. And he succeeded. It has taken a lot of field work to uncover the secret sauce he was looking for, but the results of this journey are fully documented in this, his latest book. Those familiar with John’s work freely acknowledge that he is one of the most influential contemporary ‘thought leaders’ working in the supply chain domain. Indeed, many of the best global companies have already begun to adopt his ‘dynamic alignment’ model, with significant positive results: a doubling of margins,   big increases in sales revenue through increased customer satisfaction, lower cost-to-serve across the board as a result of identifying and eliminating unnecessary over-servicing. John’s books have been translated into Chinese, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. Apart from being a prolific writer on the subject, John teaches at several universities around the world, speaks regularly at international conferences, and advises boards and the C-suite of several multi-national companies on how to apply alignment principles to their businesses. He lives in Sydney, Australia, is married, and has two  sons and four grandchildren.**** Previous books by the author Living Supply Chains, First Edition, 2006, Financial Times Prentice HallDynamic Supply Chain Alignment, 2009, Gower
