Purchase Order Management Best Practices: Process, Technology, and Change Management, 1st Edition, Ehap H. Sabri




This ground-breaking volume brings together the latest advances in the field of purchase order management (POM) and offers a comprehensive framework for lowering costs, improving efficiency, eliminating non-value activities, and optimizing the POM process.

"Purchase Order Management Best Practices" provides practical and proven methods, and detailed guidance on every aspect of the POM process redesign - from mapping the existing process and intelligent implementation of new technologies, to strengthening supplier relationships and providing continuing support - all accompanied by real industry case studies. This volume also includes details of the key performance indicators for a POM transformation program, and the typical benefits successful implementation can bring.

This book should be required reading for anybody interested in supply chain management. An organization's purchase order managemnent system must reflect serious consideration of the "process, technology, and change mangement" issues that are discussed by Sabri, Gupta, and Beitler.

"POM Best Practices" offers advice that new and seasoned purchase order managements can apply immediately. I wish this type of book had been available 20 years ago when I got started.

I recently worked with a client who had purchase order management problems. Implementation of the new purchase order management procedures were extremely difficult. The third part of the book on Change Management (written by Beitler, the change management expert) was very helpful.

I like how these three experts, Sabri (process), Gupta (technology) , and Beitler (change management), collaborated to produce such a valuable reference guide for purchase order management. They talk about state-of-the-art techniques, being used at real-world companies, in an easy-to-read style.

I heard about this book on "Free Markets With Dr. Mike Beitler," an internet-radio show on the VoiceAmerica Business Network. Since I work in manufacturing, I found this book to be very helpful. The authors are all Ph.D.s but they are also practitioners; they speak in real-world terms.

I found the change management tools especially useful.

I would recommend this book along with Dr. Beitler's "Strategic Organizational Change" Strategic Organizational Change, Second Edition.

When I bought it, was updated information that gave me the guidance to perform my pòsgraduate final paper. A must have.
