The Category Management Handbook

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 the practitioner to apply to their own organisation. Easy-to-use templates and checklists have been provided together with simple but practical hints and tips for implementation. This book is a "˜must-read"™ for all procurement and supply chain 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.
