Summary

Businesses around the world are discovering the improvements possible through a focus on an end-to-end supply chain connecting multiple enterprises. Industry leading firms are bringing five to eight points of new profit to their bottom line. This book will help the reader understand how process improvement can add value for firms of any size in any business, and show the way to track those savings to the profit and loss statement. It introduces a roadmap for achieving success by relating specific process improvements to specific savings and value creation. It begins with a guiding framework and a presentation of the underlying architecture, including the basic elements of optimizing the extended enterprise, applying business process management (BPM) tools and techniques, and bringing value to all constituents of the network enterprise, especially the end consumer. The result is the creation of a truly linked and optimized intelligent business network that delivers greater value than competitors.
