Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There’s a new buzz phrase in the air: Supplier Relationship Management (SRM). Corporate executives know it’s necessary, but there’s only one problem. Nobody yet knows how to do it. Or they think it’s all about bashing your vendors over the head until they reduce the price another 4%. Supplier Relationship Management: How to Maximize Vendor Value and Opportunity changes all that. Containing the best and most innovative advice from the operations and procurement experts at consultant AT Kearney, this book shows that SRM is at root a strategic discussion requiring cross-functional interaction and internal alignment at the highest levels. It requires an honest appraisal of the value that suppliers now bring to your firm, as well as their potential value. It then requires a frank and constructive business-to-business dialogue about how to improve the relationship. When this happens, a company reaps myriad benefits, ranging from new opportunity to added value to competitive advantage—and, quite likely, to overall (and sometimes substantial) cost reductions. This book shows the most concrete methods you can use today to: Identify value-adding opportunities in the supply chain Work closely with suppliers to maximize the benefits Work the "Critical Cluster" of suppliers, where the greatest opportunity for advantage lies Review suppliers to encourage constant gains in quality and cost Turn your SRM strategy into a major competitive advantage Supplier Relationship Management introduces and explains the Supplier Interaction Model, a key tool that will help you get the most from your supplier relationships. It segments the supplier universe into nine categories, from those you want to run away from fast to those so good and so useful to your organization that it can make sense to invest in them directly. Numerous case studies show how to apply the principles to your situation. Supplier Relationship Management burns off the fog that has surrounded the procurement process for far too long. It is the definitive guide for business executives who want to get the maximum benefits from suppliers and gain very real advantages over competitors.

Book excerpt: "Supplier Relationship Management" hat sich zum neuen Buzzword des Beschaffungswesens entwickelt. Von SRM erwartet man sich weitere Einsparungen im Beschaffungswesen, die sich direkt als Steigerung der Gewinnmarge eines Unternehmens auswirken. Viele, vor allem größere Unternehmen konnten mithilfe von e-Procurement-Lösungen vor allem für C-Teile bereits enorme Kosteneinsparungen erreichen. Über e-Procurement hinaus bietet das SRM Analyse- und Controllingwerkzeuge, Systeme für das Vertrags- und Lieferantenmanagement sowie technische Unterstützung für die Lieferanten-Collaboration. Mit SRM werden Beschaffungsprozesse über Firmengrenzen hinweg optimiert, alle einkaufsrelevanten Daten erfasst und analysiert, die Lieferanten bewertet und ein strategisches Beschaffungscontrolling durchgeführt. In den USA könnten durch die Optimierung von Lieferantenmanagement und Beschaffungscontrolling jährlich 155 Milliarden Dollar an Kosten eingespart werden - in Deutschland dürfte ebenfalls ein Optimierungspotenzial in Milliardenhöhe zu finden sein.
