Supplier Relationship Management by Jonathan O'brien
The supply base represents a wealth of opportunities for any organisation, yet few organisations ever properly realise this. Supplier Relationship Management enables organisations to manage suppliers effectively and provides the means to secure real, tangible and dramatic benefits from the supply base that would not otherwise be realised. Written by Jonathan O'Brien, an award-winning author and leading practitioner with over 25 years' experience in the field, this book is the definitive guide to Supplier Relationship Management. This highly practical, 'how to' guide is a valuable tool for anyone that manages or interfaces with the supply base. The book provides a strategic and structured approach to maximising value from key and strategic suppliers, and gives focus to the direct resources at the suppliers that can make the biggest difference to the organization. It offers a complete, clear and highly operational framework for Supplier Relationship Management and seeks to provide answers to 20 key or 'pathway' questions. Supplier Relationship Management guides readers through the simultaneous orchestra of supply base segmentation, supplier relationship management, and performance management. Jonathan O'Brien offers practical advice on: managing a changing global supply base; managing internal clients in purchasing and processes; determining the right segmentation plan for the supply base; introducing performance management systems; driving supplier improvements; developing strategic collaborative relationships. Supplier Relationship Management is the ideal companion to Category Management in Purchasing and Negotiation for Purchasing Professionals. Used together, these books provide a complete and powerful strategic purchasing toolkit.
"This book provides an extensive look at the metrics, relationships, and change management considerations associated with supply base collaboration[..] It is true that supplier relationships, innovation, and collaboration are among the topics du jour in procurement, but O'Brien proves himself well versed in the associated opportunities and challenges[...] The graphics and tables in Supplier Relationship Management are a significant resource all on their own and indicate the fact that this content and recommended approaches have been well vetted through consulting engagements. He also strikes the right balance between original content and validation from third party sources, resulting in an impressive reference list." * Kelly Barner, Buyers Meeting Point *
