The fascinatingly complex world of international mining is explored with precision and detail in an insightful memoir of job change and rise through the ranks of global mining corporations. The Lean Supplier is a memoir with seven fixed plot points. Surrounding these seven points the scenes and characters that develop the plot of a story, only this story is my career in supply chain management. The scenes of the book are the international mine sites where I worked over forty-two years. The characters are all real life people who worked with me, who supervised me, and those I supervised. I recount as best as possible our conversations, successes, failures, and the impact of mining life on my family. The author's uncanny ability to simplify what, on the surface, seems to be a Byzantine world to the uninitiated is extraordinary. Applicable to any industry that requires supply chain management, his clear and precise descriptions, rationale, and solutions are an asset regardless of the size and scope of your business. Fundamentally solid and easily accessible, The Lean Supplier is sure to change the manner in which your concern approaches and validates its asset management process. Now available as a Kindle ebook.
