"Supply chain decisions, such as sourcing globally, investing in a
new manufacturing facility, reducing inventory levels, or
redesigning a transport network, have a profound impact on
financial performance. However, decision makers rarely understand
the full impact of these decision on their own firms, their
supplier, and their customers. In this book, Dr. Simon Templar
relies on his extensive practical experience and his academic
expertise to build bridges between supply chain management and
accounting. Whether you are an accountant or a supply chain
practitioner, if you want to learn how to get the best financial
results out of your supply chain, this book is for you." * Carlos
Mena, Nike Professor of Supply Chain Management, Portland State

"The book highlights that supply chain management (SCM) is much
more than operational decision-making, demand planning or logistics
execution. The work demonstrates impressively that SCM also affects
financial variables such as sales revenues, net working capital or
asset utilization. The book perfectly emphasises the very important
but often neglected interfaces between operations and managerial
accounting. The book serves both as a basis for "newcomers" to this
field as well as compendium for specialists for a more in-depth
examination of the operations-finance-relations." * Prof. Dr. Erik
Hofmann, Director, Institute of Supply Chain Management, University
of St.Gallen, Switzerland *
