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.
