Examines the state of supply chain management practices in the Asia Pacific region and presents results of a survey distributed to some of the region’s biggest companies, representing, for example, the chemical, food, transport, communications and automotive industries. Identifies key supply chain management issues such as information technology, inventory, internal and external infrastructures, studies, and roles and responsibilities. Explores the competitive strategies adopted by management to improve supply chain management performance, and examines the means by which companies evaluate the performance levels of critical components of the supply chain management function.
