About this book

Summary

Every product you've ever bought—your phone, your coffee, the chair you're sitting in—traveled through a supply chain to reach you. But how does it actually work? This audiobook walks you through the complete picture: how companies predict what customers will want, how they plan production, how materials flow through factories, and how inventory gets managed along the way. No jargon, no dense textbooks—just clear explanations with real examples. You'll learn forecasting techniques, manufacturing strategies, the planning hierarchy from S&OP to shop floor execution, and practical tools like EOQ and ABC analysis. Whether you're new to operations, studying for a certification, or just curious about how the business world actually runs, this is the foundation you need. By the end, you'll understand why some products are available instantly while others take weeks, what happens when supply chains fail, and how companies balance cost, speed, and reliability every single day.
