Financial Supply Chain

Company processes must generate sufficient cash, otherwise the company is not economically balanced and its existence is quickly jeopardised. In many companies, however, process design is not sufficiently evaluated in monetary terms and scrutinised from a business management perspective. The aim is to optimise these financial flows - from the creditworthiness check to the receipt of payment - and to accelerate the cash-to-cash cycle. In the context of working capital management, releasing liquidity tied up in working capital has become one of the top topics for team leaders in the current turbulent VUCA times. Against the background of current supply chain problems and customers' reluctance to buy, this book shows in a practice-oriented way how companies can secure their future viability through active working capital management and cash flow optimisation.
For the 4th, expanded and revised edition, the topics of supply chain financing, supply chain design and liquidity analysis in the context of cash flow statements have been included. Two new chapters are dedicated to the topics of risk management and resilience as well as digitalisation of the supply chain.
