The Purchasing Machine: How the Top Ten Companies Use Best Practices to Manage Their Supply Chains

Every day, businesses leave hard-earned dollars on the table that could have yielded lower consumer prices, exciting new products, or fatter shareholder returns. These companies don't even notice that cash is slipping away at the far end of the supply chain -- procurement, design, and development. The key to saving these dollars is to become proficient in target costing, value engineering, and supplier development -- "the new basics of supply management". The Purchasing Machine describes the costs, benefits, implementation, and results of the twenty best practices that must be in place in order to achieve world-class supply management objectives. These include cost management, value analysis, delivery improvement, supplier quality circles and support services, and purchasing systems. Led by Dave Nelson, the authors profile the top ten purchasing organizations -- including DaimlerChrysler, Honda of America, Harley Davidson, IBM, and John Deere -- and show how they have succeeded. Their book is a vital resource for all logistics, purchasing, and procurement managers who want to understand how to make their company both smart and rich.

The losses are not leveraged cuts demanded by Lopez-type leaders, but invisible, unrealized savings that could put their organizations in the top tier of healthy, resilient supply management leaders. And every day, those same millions -- lost opportunities -- slip into someone else's pocket as the silver certificates flutter and drift farther away from their original owners. Profitable majors like Daimler/Chrysler, Honda of America, Harley-Davidson, IBM, and John Deere all recognize the power of profits realized when supply management professionals focus their attention on best practices in all areas of their operations, and ... read full excerpt from The Purchasing Machine: How the Top Ten Companies Use Best Practices to Manage Their Supply Chains ebook
