No Boundaries Takes Companies Beyond Supply Chain Management

Latest release from Tompkins Press is the playbook e-professionals need to compete

Raleigh, NC, May 12, 2000—Tompkins Press today announced the release of their latest business book, No Boundaries: Moving Beyond Supply Chain Management, by Jim Tompkins, President and Founder of Tompkins Associates.

The rules have changed. Competition in today's marketplace is no longer company vs. company, it is supply chain vs. supply chain. No Boundaries is the new playbook e-professionals need to follow to compete. Dr. Tompkins developed the concept of Supply Chain Synthesis (SCS) to not only level the playing field, but tilt it to competitive advantage. The hallmark feature of a Supply Chain Synthesis environment is that there are no link-optimizing boundaries in the supply chain. The synthesis melts the links of the chain into a continuous flow that is focused not on a particular link, but on the ultimate customer.

"In this book, Jim Tompkins looks beyond the present day reality to the solution after next," says Brenda Jernigan, Publisher, Tompkins Press. "He has recognized that the marketplace will be won by supply chains, not companies."

No Boundaries introduces and explains Supply Chain Synthesis clearly and in detail. In an SCS environment, all of the partners in a synthesized supply chain gain greater cash flow and increased output while reducing inventories. But the ultimate result is increased levels of customer satisfaction. Readers will discover the opportunities SCS presents and its eight core competencies, and, most importantly, how to design a supply chain without boundaries.

No Boundaries: Moving Beyond Supply Chain Management is available from Tompkins Press for $24.95 U.S. (includes shipping and handling), $34.95 Canada and £15.95 UK. To order, contact Tompkins' Client Relations at 800-789-1257 or sales@tompkinsinc.com.
