Supply Chain Cost Management

ebook

This book introduces the same process the author has used to save companies like IBM, Kodak, and DuPont billions of dollars, simply by harnessing the knowledge of suppliers.

For most supply chains, cost reduction is imperative to long-term survival. Yet identifying the costs that can be eliminated?and then doing so effectively?can prove impossible without the right method. Using real-life case studies and examples, Supply Chain Cost Management takes you step-by-step through the process, showing you how to move beyond negotiation and:

  • identify critical costs in the supply chain
  • measure secondary and tertiary costs
  • develop strategic options
  • reduce, change, or eliminate activities that produce costs
  • implement an action plan
  • verify the plan with cost monitors
  • continually improve and modify the process
  • Supply Chain Cost Management gives you everything you need to implement this powerful system, and bring genuine and permanent savings to your company.
