Download or read book Handbook of Buying and Purchasing Management written by Harry E. Hough and published by CCH Tax & Accounting. This book was released on 1992 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive, A-to-Z guide to purchasing management takes you through all the buying steps and procedures from requisition to delivery of a satisfactory product or service - on time, and at the best possible price. Whether you work for a small company or a corporate giant ... whether you're a seasoned pro in the field, or just beginning a career in purchasing ... this guide will help you do a better job, solve a multitude of day-in and day-out problems, and enhance your success on the job. The book zeros in on the practical problems facing every buyer or purchasing manager, like saving money with proper specifications, ensuring on-time delivery, negotiating the best price, getting the exact quality you need, and combating the ever-present problem of "backdoor selling." It gives solutions, based on years of practical experience, to all the problems that buyers face when buying maintenance, repair and operating supplies, as well as the raw materials needed for high-volume production. This book will show you how to unlock and enjoy the substantial profit opportunities awaiting you when you practice good purchasing techniques; how to set up a purchasing organization to gain negotiating strength you never before thought possible; how to protect your company from costly mistakes, legal or otherwise, make buying less risky, and be sure you always get the quality you want; how to find the best suppliers for any need and determine if they meet your every qualification check; how to simplify the buying process, save time and money, and not sacrifice control; and how to use computers to increase purchasing productivity, without becoming a slave to the machine plus much, much more. Everything is covered in this manual, from setting up an efficient purchasing department and avoiding common mistakes, to all the steps required from the issuance of a purchase order to receipt and acceptance of the product or service. Included also is practical help on preparing a purchasing policy and procedures manual - important if you want consistency, lowest costs, and absolute fairness and impartiality in the purchasing process. Rounding out the coverage is information on how to succeed in global sourcing: finding international suppliers, currency and exchange rates, negotiating with international suppliers, and how to save money on importing. This handbook will be the number-one source you will find yourself turning to in doing your job efficiently and with professionalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Category management is one of the biggest contributors of commercial value in the area of procurement and supply chain. With a proven track record of successful delivery since the early 1990s, it helps organisations gather and analyse key data about their procurement spend before subsequently creating and delivering value-adding strategies that change the value proposition from supply chains. The aim of category management is to find long-term breakthrough strategies that help lift an organisation’s commercial performance to a new level. Because of its strategic long-term orientation and complex execution, category management has long been the preserve of commercial consulting companies – in effect a ‘black box’ toolkit shrouded in expensive methodologies. This practical handbook lifts the lid on category management by providing readers with a step-by-step process and established toolkit that allows them a ‘do-it-yourself’ approach. Each activity is presented as a simple tool or technique for practitioners to apply to their own organisations. To support each activity, easy-to- use templates and checklists have been provided, together with simple but practical hints and tips for implementation. This handbook is a ‘must read’ for all procurement and supplychain managers looking to find significant improvements in their organisations. Its practical approach cuts through long-winded consultant-speak and provides an easy-to-use practical toolkit for everyday application.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 2002, the revised third edition of the Gower Handbook of Purchasing and Supply Management views procurement as standing on the boundary of the firm, looking outwards and scanning the environment for new opportunities and threats. In this respect, as in many others, the new edition is quite different from the previous two, reflecting the many changes that have taken place for businesses over the years. In particular this edition has been slimmed down and focused to assist the reader by working systematically outwards using a purchasing lens to view the wider business world. The aim is to show the potential contribution that purchasing can make as a driver for organizational efficiency and business development. It is this latter requirement, the need for purchasing to generate revenue, that has been identified as being ever more prominent as a demand on purchasing directors’ time and effort. The book is now split into three sections. Part I lays the foundations for building the organization of purchasing in a corporate environment. Part II overlays further applications on the foundations of purchasing organization. The assumption is made that the purchasing activities of a firm are proactive in outlook, gathering knowledge and measuring their current corporate purchasing performance, while also looking to generate revenues for the business. Finally, Part III provides case studies which bring to life some of the learning achieved through the framework laid out in the previous parts. Written by leading practitioners and academics, and published in association with The Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook is a complete and authoritative source of practical information on all aspects of purchasing management. This new edition is the first revision of this classic handbook since 1982, a decade in which many important developments have taken place in business, the economy, and the field of purchasing. Once again developed under the auspices of the National Association of Purchasing Management, Aljian brings the entire field up to date. A special emphasis of this new edition is the coverage given to purchasing policies and procedures in a service economy and in service industries. Previous emphasis in the handbook was on manufacturing-related purchasing issues. Aljian provides up-to-date guidance on all aspects of the general purchasing process from purchasing department through contracts, pricing and negotiation and beyond, to such subjects as purchasing strategy and evaluating purchasing performance. In addition, the handbook also zeros-in on specific subject areas and specific industries, covering in detail global sourcing, raw materials, health care, government purchasing, and other specific subject areas. Targeted coverage is provided on other "special interest" subjects such as materials management, just-in-time, legal aspects of purchasing, scrap and other topics of interest to purchasing managers and corporate departments with which they interrelate.
