Supply chain generally isn’t about it’s own strategy but how does it most effectively support the corporate commercial and financial strategy.

The Everything Store and The Amazon Way touch a lot on the alignment that Amazon has put together. Reading up on the supply chains that Zara, Walmart, J&J, McKesson, Rolls Royce, and the Gates Foundation are worth review.

Legacy Sears was the original catalog business. Fed-Ex, UPS, And DHL are interesting story as is anything nuclear be it medicine, weapons, waste, etc.
