Opis

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's more individualized approach illustrates techniques specific to organizations operating in a standard or crisis environment. Highlights include:

• Methods for developing and tracking strategic procurement initiatives.
• Planning in the "standard" and "crisis" environments.
• Coordinating supply chain management and lean manufacturing.
• Performance measurement tools.

Lean Supply Chain Management provides purchasers and supplier development professionals with the tools needed to transform procurement from a mere cost center to a profit generator.

Recenzje

"Beyond reading about the supply chain approach from a successful company, the best learning advantage would be to supply companies like Toyota and traditional (automotive) companies. This gives an individual leader and teams the advantage of seeing and comparing two methods, traditional versus lean, side by side. This side-by-side comparison lets us see what works and what does not work in the U.S. manufacturing environment. This is exactly the comparison that Jeff Wincel brings to the table in his book, Lean Supply Chain Management."

"This book addresses one of my main frustrations with the supply chain business -- it treats supplier management as a technical logistics issue. Jeffrey Wincel, through his extensive experience in doing it right at Donnelly Mirrors, shows us how lean supply chain management is much more than that. It is about relationships. It is a blending of cultures. It is having a lean plant providing seamless, just-in-time delivery of quality parts to another lean plant. Lean supply chain management is a core competency of Toyota and if you are serious about developing this competency I recommend that you read this book."

"…the book provides a good overview of Wincel's ideas about using lean methods in supply chains."
