Book Description

Focusing on the lean supply chain from an operations perspective, this insightful book offers a thorough overview, covering the activities of all the companies involved in the flow of products, services, finances, and information - from the initial suppliers to the ultimate users. It provides candid discussions of managers' tasks and responsibilities and how they may be best accomplished through the use of such conceptual tools as lean thinking, theory of constraints, and the balanced scorecard. The book uniquely integrates the discussion of theory of constraints with the lean supply chain, illustrating how both champion the use of pull to create the flow of goods and services through the value chain while emphasizing that lean is indeed a growth strategy.

Good book.......2007-03-08

This book is concise in dealing with the basics and the advanced materials in the subject. Author's language is discernible even for those who are not familiar with this concept.

Crack the Bullwhip!.......2006-05-02

I am the Corporate Lean Champion for a global manufacturing company. I had heard of the bullwhip effect but did not thoroughly understand it before reading "the book" as I refer to it when recommending it to my Lean students. Streamlined helped me to put a plan together utilizing rate based planning, Lean variation reduction tools, and pull protocols to Crack the Bullwhip effect and drive it out of our organization!

Streamlined is a "must read" for any Lean practitioner, operations Leader, supply chain leader ot MBA student.

An Excellent Guide.......2006-01-08

I actually got the opportunity to study under Srini and can verify his expertise in this field. I picked up more than a few great ideas in this book that I hadn't seen in the many books I have read on the subject. I would recommend this book to students, managers, and specialist at all experience levels.

Excellent textbook for an advanced undergarduate course as well as MBA courses.......2005-06-28

I have adopted "streamlined" for an advanced topics in management course on lean supply chains. The challenge of finding a book that goes beyond the abstract concepts to more detailed and parctical steps for implementation has been greatly alleviated by "streamlined." Dr. Srinivasan provides the reader and the student in particular with a very well thought out and written text. My students' initial worries about the rigor and difficulty of the subject matter were quickly mitigated after reading the first few chapters.
The 14 principles provided me, the professor, an organizing framework for the delivery of the course, the assignments and the term project. The students and myself found "streamlined" to be very interesting, thought proviking, and useful.
This book is a must-read for any faculty member regardless of their discipline as the topics covered cut across all functional areas of business and provide a much-needed integrative approach.

Very thorough read.......2005-02-05

This book covers the concepts around supply chain optimization in depth. In our company we are using these techniques to improve the lead time in our global manufacturing supply chain.

Book Description

Webster’s Principles and Tools of Supply Chain Management provides a basic introduction to the concepts and tools of supply chain management and delivers an optimal balance of descriptive and analytical material. The book is divided into three parts: Foundation; Principles and Tools; and Synthesis. Part 1 introduces the basic concepts of supply chain management—concepts that are referred to and expanded upon in subsequent chapters; Part 2 focuses on the application of supply chain concepts within the context of particular supply chain activities (i.e., buy, make, moVe, store, or sell); Part 3, consisting of a single chapter, offers a macro perspective of supply chain management. It reconstructs and synthesizes earlier content while taking a “step back” to review and consider the entire system. A case study is included at the end of each chapter. Some of these cases focus on technology. Chapters that introduce analytical models begin with simple analyses and introduce added complexity and realism as the chapter progresses, thereby offering instructors flexibility with respect to the degree of analytical rigor that they are able to require of their students.

Book Description

Sourcing Strategy is about sourcing as a long term strategic activity. Myopic purchasing management stops short with describing functional procedures and procedural innovations such as online order processing.

The goal of this book is not merely to document sourcing strategy, but to provide the tools to determine it. Therefore, rather than merely describe common sourcing processes, the book takes a normative approach to sourcing strategy. It argues for a rational, complete and integrated process view. It supports its recommendations with logical arguments from an interdisciplinary and analytical approach grounded in microeconomics, law and business strategy.

Part 1 of the book explains the economic and business principles that underlie sourcing strategies. It derives policies that guide viable strategies to meet sourcing goals. Part 2 applies these to creative designs for standard sourcing scenarios. A software package is included as a learning tool.

Customer Reviews:

Dry, very technical and hard to follow at some points - but good basic introduction.......2007-09-01

I'm a strategic sourcing professional and consult to numerous clients on the topic, however, all my knowledge and experience has come from "on the job" learning and experience. I decided to buy this book in order expand my knowledge and provide more structure to what I know. The content of the book is succint, however, most topics were covered in a very general and sparse capacity. In addition, I also found the text dry, technical and at some points, my eyes were plain crossing as I was trying to read what was being presented. It provides a very decent overview, but for someone who's been working in strategic sourcing for any number of years, I would suggest another book since this is very much an introductory text. It is also very theoretical, so if you are looking for the practical "how-to" of strategic sourcing, or anything relating more towards the process of strategic sourcing, look elsewhere.

Opening a Whole New Worldview.......2006-09-05

This book is not for the faint of heart or for those who want a cotton candy buisiness self-help book. This treatment of strategic sourcing provides the depth of theory and quantitative practice that enables the procurement professional to move from being a seat of the pants maverick to a professional matching opportunity to the appropriate sourcing instrument, vendor, and contract type.
This book opened my eyes to possibilities I knew existed, but around which had not been able to get my arms.

A significant drawback arises when one seeks to use the enclosed software application. Unfortunately, it not compatible with the current release of the Java runtime environment. So, that portion of the learning experience is disabled.

Book Description

The goal of Inventory Management will be to explain the dynamics of inventory management's principles, concepts, and techniques as they relate to the entire supply chain (customer demand, distribution, and product transformation processes). The interrelationships of all functions will be defined. The book concentrates on understanding the many ramifications of inventory management. In today's competitive business environment, inventory management has proven to be most critical, and this book is directed to the management of inventory to assist in better understanding the body of knowledge required to operate in a competitive world. Almost all functions such as sales, engineering, and accounting have an impact and are impacted by inventory management. The book will assist in the training of students as well as APICS CPIM (Certified in Production and Inventory Management) candidates. As such it will not only be a textbook, but also a desk reference for those employees responsible for controlling inventories, and thereby assist in reducing cost, improving customer service, and maximizing capacity. Each chapter concludes with a case study and suggested solution. The case studies tell the story of a growing company, Smith Industries, and the related inventory management problems it had to address. The problems addressed relate to the subject matter of the chapter.

An Empirical Analysis of the Impacts of Adopting Lean Purchasing and Supplier Management Principles on the Participation of Small Business Within the Department of Defense Aerospace Industry

Binding: Spiral-bound
ASIN: 1423504321

Product Description

This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A334314. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: The Small Business Act requires that small business concerns be afforded the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in Federal contracts and subcontracts. The contract dollars awarded to small businesses by the Air Force have been on the decline for several years and the Air Force is not meeting its small business award goals. This thesis is a follow-on research effort to that conducted by Mr. Bruce Miller (GAQ-2M) who proposed a connection between the Lean Aerospace Initiative's (LAI) Purchasing and Supplier Management (PSM) principles and declining small business participation. The purpose of this research is to determine if the LAI's PSM Principles are acting as entry barriers to small manufacturing/parts supplier businesses attempting to enter the DoD aerospace market. Market entry barriers discourage new entrants into a market, thus providing an advantage to firms already within a market. This advantage or lack of competition can result in higher prices which are paid with taxpayer funds out of dwindling Air Force budgets. If market entry barriers do exist, efforts can be taken to "level the playing field", increase competition, expand the industrial base, and ultimately make more efficient use of dwindling funds.
