About this title

Synopsis

Executives in all kinds of companies -- both service and manufacturing -- are painfully aware of the pressing need to stretch resources and, at the same time, keep a competitive advantage. What many are not aware of is the tremendous financial benefit that can be realized through an important technique known as Supply Chain Management.

This breakthrough approach to procuring supplies, equipment -- even raw materials -- is well known to purchasing professionals. Now its cost-savings will be abundantly clear to top decision-makers. The book shows how to:

** get the best possible financial deal with suppliers
** apply implementation steps to set up air-tight processes
** ask the right questions, use the right tools, and measure the results
** understand how Supply Chain Management fits into strategic planning.
