Kevin Fallon replied to Neil Adams's discussion Supply chain design"I believe BMG is good for aligning all of the building blocks of a business but once aligned at a high level, I think the SCOR model and framework from Supply Chain Council, http://supply-chain.org/, is the right tool to drill through a supply chain…"

Yes, I can certainly sympathize with your position. Not sure I would quite as definitive aboout banning the 'S ' discussion. But, as with most things, it depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

I like your thinking here. A particular problem with supply chains is that players upstream and downstream don't appreciate the conflicts and problems that exist above and below them. Customers are suprised when suppliers don't jump…"
Chris Bentley replied to Neil Adams's discussion Supply chain design"I haven't tried it with a real example yet, but the canvas looks well suited to mapping complete supply chains or value networks:

Value propositions link to…"
Erwin Fielt replied to Neil Adams's discussion Supply chain design"While a bit overlapping, I like to add the text below (which is part of a closer look at business models and value logic I am trying to write down and will share soon as a working paper. In addition, see here for some related text on the related…"
Neil Adams replied to Neil Adams's discussion Supply chain design"Thanks mike - really really helpful. I've found the article it required a bit of detection as its "casting off chains" not throwing - i'm going to read it over lunch. Funny this thread has now morphed into a discussion on…"
Mike Lachapelle replied to Neil Adams's discussion Supply chain design"The concept of the value chain is what many business leaders have been exposed to and is their sole reference for modelling a business, even when it is highly inappropriate.
