Achieving Supply Chain Excellence through Technology: The ASCET Project, is a thought-leadership initiative that provides fresh insights and practical guidance in the rapidly changing landscape of Supply Chain Management. Montgomery Research launched the project seven years ago, with key sponsorship from Accenture, as a decision-support tool for senior executives who want to maximize the value of their supply chain programs. The project includes a boardroom-quality report and an interactive online resource.

Today's companies face aggressive competitors, demanding investors and the steadily increasing costs of supply chain technologies. The ASCET Project answers these challenges with bold strategies from leading practitioners, consultants, researchers, and solution providers. These industry leaders explore innovative tools, processes, and management techniques that will empower executives to build competitive advantages while increasing cost-effectiveness.

The compiled articles examine and reveal in-depth knowledge about the relationship between today's business conditions and the supply chain innovations that reign supreme in today's and tomorrow's marketplace. Produced yearly, each volume builds on past editions, creating an ever-deepening pool of vision for senior executives who want to understand new technologies and the implications they will have in the future.
