suitable to each segment. He explains the power of segmentation, developing a systematic plan for implementing supply chain segmentation, the components of an integrated segmentation policy,
the analytics elements of supply chain segmentation, measures that define success, and developing a strategy and methodology to introduce segmentation principles. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold,
