Description

Category Management is a method used to take into account markets, analyze spending, and make purchasing decisions that lower your expenses. It could actually mean the difference between accepting mediocre goods and products and services at high cost and effective supply management that delivers real value. By altering how goods are categorized and supplied, this management tactic helps shift purchasing from being an error-prone transaction to lowering costs for the business.

Using case studies and practical examples, Jonathan O’Brien provides a step by step guide to category management implementation and use that companies can readily apply to their overall business strategy.  The third edition is up to date with pragmatic advice for smaller businesses, details on how category management can work in conjunction with other approaches (such as Supplier Relationship Management), revised sections on supplier management, and new information on governance, supplier and supply chain tools.  This practical book allows readers to analyze complex sourcing situations quickly and develop innovative and creative solutions.  Category Management in Purchasing is the very best companion to Jonathan O’Brien’s other books, Negotiation for Purchasing Professionals and Supplier Relationship Management, both published by Kogan Page. Used together, they provide an entire and powerful strategic purchasing toolkit.
