Lean Supply Chain Management

Unlike other strategic procurement guides, Lean Supply Chain Management considers an organization's business condition as a contributing factor in the development of a strategic procurement strategy. That is, rather than taking a one-size fits all approach, the author takes a more individualized approach, illustrating techniques specific to organizations operating in a standard or crisis environment. With methods for developing and tracking strategic procurement initiatives, this book provides purchasers and supplier development professionals with the tools needed to transform procurement from a mere cost center to a profit generator.
