Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
Value nets bring supply chain management and performance into the digital business era.
A value net marries a concise customer interface with a powerful and responsive order fulfillment engine to deliver exceptional levels of supply performance:
The customer interface allows the value net to learn exactly what the customer wants in real time.The order fulfillment engine builds only to order. It consists of a network of companies who work together. Whenever an order is placed, the order is shared between the partners, with each doing what they do best.Information (in digital format) flows the length and breadth of the value net. This has the impact of enhancing the entire value net’s performance.The end result is a value net becomes a digital supply system. Products and services ordered are custom built, delivered in the shortest lead time possible and supported well. Importantly, the value net also optimizes and enhances the profitability of all the companies participating, effectively creating the ultimate win-win outcome.

Summary of Value Nets (David Bovet and Joseph Martha)
Section 1: The Concept of a Value Net
Main Idea
A value net is a new generation supply chain which is:
Infinitely configurable, rather than sequential and rigid.Flexible enough to let customers design their own products.Able to build only to meet actual demand.Demand-pull oriented rather than product-driven.Strategic (seeking solutions) rather than tactical (cutting costs).In essence, a value net replaces a conventional supply chain with a digital supply system in which a company and its partners share information electronically and collaborate to create value for the customer.
Supporting Ideas
Historically, supply chains evolved around the production of a fixed product line. This usually involved a set number of steps with materials flowing sequentially down the line:
The Traditional Supply Chain
By contrast, a value net starts and ends with the customer, who specifies what they want. The manufacture and delivery of the products required is then undertaken by the company, working in dynamic partnership with its partners. In fact, so seamless is the nature of these partnerships many of the products involved may be delivered directly from partners to the customer without the actual involvement of the company itself.
A Value Net
Note that, by definition, a value net has no fixed sequence of steps to be carried out by the company and its partners, but is reconfigured to meet the specific demands of each individual order placed.
