The Supply Chain Cost Management: The Aim & Drive Process for Achieving Extraordinary Results
By Jimmy Anklesaria


 


Book Description:

For most supply chains, cost reduction is imperative to long-term survival. Yet identifying the costs that can be eliminated – and then doing so effectively – can prove impossible without the right method. This book introduces the same process the author has used to save companies like IBM, Kodak, and DuPont billions of dollars, simply by harnessing the knowledge of suppliers. Using real-life case studies and examples, the book takes readers step-by-step through the process, showing them how to move beyond negotiation and:

* identify critical costs in the supply chain * measure secondary and tertiary costs * develop strategic options * reduce, change, or eliminate activities that produce costs * implement an action plan * verify the plan with cost monitors * continually improve and modify the process

The book gives readers everything they need to implement this powerful system, and bring genuine and permanent savings to their company



Summary: The Aim and Drive process is brilliant!
Rating: 5

At long last a book on Supply Chain Cost Management that makes sense
and a process that can be implemented by anyone. I enjoyed the author's
free flowing style, the examples and clear logic. This process is not
just for the big companies out there but for small and medium companies
as well. Very clear and concise. Excellent book!



Summary: REDUCE COSTS WHERE IT REALLY MATTERS - YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN!
Rating: 5

When Jimmy Anklesaria lays out his proven approach to cost management, companies who have shown that it works - IBM, Motorola, Nortstrom, and HP, among others, all agree - this simple method works, and pays off big! Why work on the slimmest of lean opportunity areas - the fractions - when you can hit the big bucks and make a real difference in profitability! You know you're competing with global producers, and you need every advantage you can get, and fast!
