Summary This book is aimed at executive leaders of organizations. Leaders from all organizations will benefit from this book, but especially organizations that may have limited resources and bench strength. This book instructs executive leadership teams on implementing strategy through identifying, selecting, prioritizing, resourcing, and governing an optimal combination of projects and other work. This book also tells executives who serve as a sponsor or who have a project manager direct report what they need to do at each project stage. Advice is given to the executive who owns the project management competency for the company on utilizing input from customers, employees, and processes. Much of the organization's work is dependent on information technology, and understanding and using information technology as a strategic weapon helps an organization become competitive and effectively implement their business strategies. All of these portfolio and project decisions need to be made based upon both qualitative and quantitative data using reliable analysis methods.

Summary Supply chain planning is concerned with making decisions about how many goods to procure, make, and deliver before knowing exactly what the demand for products is going to be. These planning decisions are difficult because they must be made with uncertain and dynamic information about future demand, available production capacity, and sources of supply. This book focuses on the three interlinked processes that compose effective supply chain planning: demand planning, sales and operations planning, and inventory and supply planning. If executed well, these planning processes will help a company to achieve its targeted balance between efficiency and responsiveness. If executed poorly, they can be the root cause of any number of supply chain problems. This book describes these processes, how they are interconnected, and the practical challenges of implementing them. It also explains the important ways in which analytical tools and methods can be utilized to make better supply chain planning decisions.
