The popular press is loaded with stories about supply problems
affecting many industries. Extensive outsourcing of major portions
of a firm's value chain, relentless pressure from customers to
improve product and service functionality and to reduce costs
across almost every industry, and steep global competition have
combined to create a search for new sources of competitive
advantage. This search has led to supply management, the management
of suppliers, and improved supply base relationships to become hot
topics in the boardrooms of many organizations. This book presents
a roadmap and understanding of what it really means to practice
strategic supply management. No longer a transactional activity,
supply management is about creating and sustaining new sources of
competitive advantage. Dr. Trent articulates how to create a supply
management organization that you can count on to deliver reliable
sources of supply and, eventually, competitive advantage. He
purposely presents a holistic approach that focuses on breadth
rather than depth so that readers can see how the different
elements that comprise strategic supply management come together to
create a hard-to-duplicate source of competitive advantage.
Strategic Supply Management presents, in a concise manner, the need
for supply leadership, the organizational enablers that must be in
place, and the strategies and approaches that leading organizations
pursue to achieve advantages in price and cost, quality, cycle
time, technology, flexibility, and end customer responsiveness.
This is a must read for any procurement or supply management
professional; finance, operations, and engineering functional
managers; executives who interact on a regular basis with supply
management professionals; and academics and students.
