The handbook of supply chain management

Abstract

This book provides an overview of the approach and an introduction to the toolset as whole. It is intended for anyone within a client organisation, an established contracting, design or project management organisation, or within a materials or component anufacturer who wishes to understand the implications of supply chain integration and single point responsibility procurement models. It is particularly relevant in determining how to act on recent Office of Government Commerce guidance for the public sector. This guidance strongly emphasises single point procurement methods that promote integrated ways of working.
