Abstract | The question asked by many supply chain managers is 'what supply chain strategy is best to use to gain a competitive advantage?' This research argues that selection of a supply chain strategy represents only one facet, although essential, of realising the competitive advantage. The other facet is the means by which the supply chain entities manage the waste. By waste, here, we mean anything that adds no value to the manufacturing of products or producing the required services. |
