Corporate quality and process improvement initiatives are stalled. Satisfaction rates with current supply chain technologies have never been lower nor the failure rates as high. Yet, companies continue in the same patterns.

Sharing relevant stories of success and failure from seventy-five supply chain pioneers, Bricks Matter reveals the insights of what has been learned over the course of thirty years, providing insights on the evolution of processes, and prognosticating on the future of tomorrow's supply chains.

This groundbreaking resource explores why supply chains matter today and how companies need to prepare for the next decade. Authors Lora Cecere and Charles Chase Jr. present a look at the future of technologies, a future that already includes big data, new forms of predictive analytics, and the evolution of digital manufacturing, proving that the adoption of new technologies is part of winning the supply chain race.

Bricks Matter explores:

• Who does supply chain best?
• The new world of demand management
• Achieving market-driven capabilities
• Social: a new form of demand signal
• Building horizontal connectors
• Questioning the status quo

Manufacturing is coming full circle. Starting out as a craft focused on the production of individual units, it has now, through digital manufacturing, returned to the unit of one with the potential to improve supply chain agility.
