Unlike other strategic procurement guides, Lean Supply Chain Managementconsiders 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 Managementprovides purchasers and supplier development professionals with the tools needed to transform procurement from a mere cost center to a profit generator. | Lean Supply Chain Management by Jeffrey P.
