101 Models of Procurement and Supply Chain Management [Kindle Edition]

101 Models of Procurement & Supply Chain Management contains 101 diverse and cross-functional models which the authors and some of their esteemed colleagues deem to be of greatest value, and which they have found to be of most use when working within global organisations, delivering consultancy activities or teaching Procurement and Supply Chain subjects to international students studying CIPS and other qualifications.

Each model or tool is contained within no more than 2 pages, and is headed
with a short definition, followed by further detail and explanation, analysis of any evolutions and iterations, with an “advantages and disadvantages” critique to conclude.

Further, as a supplementary feature, some nominal direction is given as to where the models may fit into the procurement or operational process, where they might deliver value to the organisation, or where they may be used to develop corporate strategy.
