The Supply Chain Innovations Case Study Collection contains real-life scenarios of supply chain innovators, from different industries. As well as presenting case studies of modern innovators, such as companies introducing robotics and AI, there are also cases of famous innovators such as JB Hunt, inventor of intermodal transportation; Henry Ford, inventor of the assembly line; Malcom McClean, inventor of the sea container and Michael Dell, consumer direct postponement.
The case studies in the Supply Chain Innovations Case Study Collection all follow a similar format. There is an introduction to the innovation, an assessment of how the innovation came about, an analysis of the impact it had initially and the impact it has today, then a discussion of implications for the future and opportunities for furthering the innovation. It includes expanded question-and-answer sections designed to measure knowledge transfer and lessons learned.
