About Me

Vivek Sehgal
I currently work with the world's foremost supply chain solutions company as a Senior Director for development of new applications. My role is to design supply chain solutions that will continue to lead the industry for years to come, and continue positioning my company for success. If you like these articles, check out my books on Amazon. 1. Enterprise Supply Chain Management: Integrating Best-in-Class Processes. A new *kind* of book that is for managers and practitioners and presents supply chain as integrated business processes addressing functional needs rather than an academic treatise. 2. Supply Chain as Strategic Asset: The Key to Reaching Business Goals. This book highlights the connection between the business and supply chain strategies and establishes a process to formulate supply chain strategy that *works* for you.
