Supply Chain Brutalization: The Handbook for Contract Manufacturing

"Supply Chain Brutalization" is a comprehensive look at contract manufacturing. From the emergence and growth of its many service sectors, on up through step by step guidance to introduce a product into third party manufacturing, the reader will learn what makes these companies tick, what drives their bottom lines, and what drives the behavior of both parties in this 300 billion dollar, manic insustry. Supporting the rant are real life stories from some professionals of the largest CM's and OEM's in the world, along with performance models, P&L examples and the often overstated "best in class" practices these companies all claim to follow....that is, till the going gets tough.
