The Purchasing Handbook: A Guide for the Purchasing and Supply Professional

The condition of the book is quite good especially for the money that I paid for it. The information in the book was somewhat repetitive but was overall very informative. The class that I'm taking recommended that I purchase this book for information for some of the lectures. The information seemed dated at times because it was written prior to 2000. Some of this information I've seen put in place with some of the corporations that I've worked for.

As a person who developes Purchasing/Inventory Software, this book has brought to my mind a deeper understanding of the process of Purchasing and how it relates to Inventory and Procurement methods, worldwide purchasing problems and methods. Things that, after many years in the business, I have never thought of or considered before.The scope of this book is fantastic! A true bible of Purchasing...This is a definite resource of anyone in the purchasing environment (or even programing environment)! A must Have!!!

The purchasing Handbook has allow me as a professional in this field to make confident, informed decisions everyday at work, the Handbook goes beyond to just informing the current trend in purchasing because it takes an innovative look at future trends and issues while delivering today's accurate purchasing and supply information, integrating the direction of today's business.Thanks...
