筆者作為一個(gè)正在系統(tǒng)學(xué)習(xí)供應(yīng)鏈管理的職場人士，給各位的第一個(gè)建議就是：理解并定義你自己的“供應(yīng)鏈管理”。

為什么如此重要？

《Supply Chain Excellence(卓越供應(yīng)鏈)》一書開篇給出了最好的闡述。

“Once, at a seminar on the supply chain operations reference model, an executive in attendance opened the Q&A portion with the request: "Most of us don't have good control of our supply chains-inside the company or with trading partners. What two or three things would you say to motivate us to address the supply chain?"

“If you can define your supply chain——which isn't hard to do——then you can measure it,”Peter(the author) answered. “Once you’ve measured it, you'll find the opportunities are so big that you won't need any more motivation. You’ll want to drive continuous improvement in your supply chain.”

Like most bandwagons, supply chain management has been defined and redefined in many ways over the past ten years. To a large degree, the definition depends on your motivation and interest.”

是的，你怎么理解定義“供應(yīng)鏈管理”，決定了你的動力和興趣。我自己的感受是，還決定了你將如何把自己對這五個(gè)字的理解有意或無意地貫穿到以后的每一處改善方向和細(xì)節(jié)中。

下一篇文章，我將探討“供應(yīng)鏈管理”的各種定義，在此之前，請各位務(wù)必寫下自己對于“供應(yīng)鏈管理”的定義，沒有對錯，不要百度，也可以寫在留言欄里，若干年后，回過來再來看看，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)也許你有了很不一樣的理解。

PS：我是，這里是我的個(gè)人微信公眾號“供應(yīng)鏈成長隨筆”，歡迎關(guān)注和轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)。
