Product Description
Supply chain management (SCM) is a competitive differentiator for many types of businesses, and CEOs who neglect it may be putting their firms in jeopardy. So say Slone, the executive vice president of supply chain at OfficeMax, and two of his colleagues at the University of Tennessee. The authors identify key areas where CEOs can influence their supply chains and show them how to assess the influence they currently exert. Good SCM starts with finding the right people to lead a company's supply chain operation, from the most senior on down the ranks. CEOs need to participate in hiring a top-notch supply team that will use customer-focused metrics and best-practice benchmarking to bring about cross-functional alignment and achieve efficiencies, which the CEOs should personally review. Articulating the strategies to reach those goals--including effective use of supply chain technologies--and rewarding the employees, suppliers, and customers who make positive contributions are part and parcel of SCM success. Sales and operations planning (S&OP) is an essential component of SCM. A well-devised S&OP process can eliminate cross-functional disconnects and thereby reduce product complexity and obsolete inventory--two serious threats to the supply chain. This approach should also extend to business planning, promotional programs, and customer-contract negotiations, with their inherent supply chain ramifications. Even the best supply chain planning can be undermined, however, if its scope is only short-term. For example, sales strategies that don't align monthly and quarterly goals with long-term SCM objectives can lead to end-of-period surges, with potentially costly consequences for your company and its suppliers, partners, and customers. Attention to the supply chain requires attention to the long haul. ... Read more

Waiting for a Follow-Up Book
Paul Wider has done such a fine job with this book that he should soon write another. It has been an honor to participate in this project with him as an editor. Wider has provided such a gift to people who struggle and suffer with this disease. His wit and wisdom, as a fellow sufferer, carries a note that sounds thoroughly convincing thoughout this volume. The "Tools" section is especially rewarding. Anyone who cares about someone who deals with depressive illness should read this book.

Overcoming Depression and manic Depression -P. Wider
I feel sympathetic toward this author because he is also bipolar and he wrote a book to help others with his best intentions and best resources... however, I found it to be almost childish in its lack of sophistication. I think a young teen or older child would be able to use the book to get started on the road to recovery with bipolar illness. For me, I read the whole book in about 20 minutes. It is full of lists, little drawings and charts and a very personalized and narrow perspective on tools and techniques to help oneself through the ups and downs of the illness. It's not a very good book. In fact, it really is poorly written and lacking in substance. Sorry.

Life-changing
This book completely changed my life!I've been in therapy and on medication for depression for about 20 years with no lasting success.It wasn't until I read this book that I realized that I was suffering from bipolar disorder, not simply depression. With the help of this book, therapy, and medication specifically for bipolar, I am a healthy, happy adult now and am so thankful for Dr. Wider.

Not Good Enough
I bought this book hoping it would give me insight into why I was feeling depressed. But it didn't. It gave pratical advice and just wasn't good enough.

Gaining a REAL Insight to some of your lifetime problems
My father saw an ad in a local newspaper that the author, Paul Wider, was speaking at a nearby Borders bookstore.I listened to his presentation and purchased his book.Having listened to him speak and as he lives nearby,I was able to see him regularly.

For those that can not see him,the book is an excellent restatement of his thoughts and helpful solutions to the entrenched problem of mild depression.Also, as I read the book, I would time and time again see myself.

It is possible that the reader may not be as devoted in his religion as is Mr. Wider.But that should be put aside by the reader as everything else in his work is compelling and worthy of deep thought as to how you might have some of the same issues.

The issue of depression is addressed in a very pragmatic, direct and practical manner.
