Ade Asefeso MCIPS MBA Published His New Book Supply Chain Management for Competitive Advantage

Oct. 1, 2012 - PRLog -- Why Supply Chain Management for Competitive Advantage?

That’s the question that Ade Asefeso answers in his new book “Supply Chain Management for Competitive Advantage”

Ade said. “In this book we reviewed the role of controlling cost of sales through supply chain competencies and its effect on the corporate financial statements”.

Ade also said that. “The balancing act of maintaining a high level of service and low costs is becoming harder for supply chain directors as businesses try to meet the growing customer mantra of “more for less.” This pressure comes at a time when business is becoming more global, supply chains are lengthening, and competition is on the rise”.

Ade also added that. “Although this challenge is not new, the outlook is that it will intensify as a number of factors; economic, regulatory and market-driven become more acute. Consequently, supply chain performance will have increasingly significant impact on overall business success”.

Ade pointed out that “Globally, forward-thinking companies are also redefining the way they do business with their customers and their suppliers, adopting innovative ideas to respond to market trends and developing new channels to meet consumer shopping preferences, many of which are being brought about by shifting lifestyles in Western economies”.

Ade mentioned the fact that “Supply chain practitioners have emerged as a vital partner in the most strategic aspects of managing complex, global companies. In years past, the procurement function (the sourcing of essential products and services on the best possible terms) occupied centre stage. But more recently, the relentless focus on driving out costs has taken a backseat to such issues as supply market risk, revenue enhancement and managing complex supplier relationships”.

Ade concluded by saying “Where a supply chain practitioner really earns his or her seat at the table is partnering with the CEO to optimize capital allocation, increase return on invested capital and reduce total costs of ownership. If that sounds like the CFO’s job, welcome to the brave new world of SCM”.

Ade spent a lot of his time representing various companies either at supply chain level, operational level, sales and marketing level, and senior executive level across Asia, North America, Africa, Eastern and Western Europe.

Ade is currently the CEO of AA Global Sourcing Ltd. A company that helps local businesses outsource so that they can enjoy the benefits that used to be enjoyed by big corporations for years.
