Purchasing Supply Management

by Michiel R. Leenders, P. Fraser Johnson, Anna E. Flynn

The Leenders’ text provides a comprehensive introduction to the purchasing and supply chain management field, supported by 50 case studies. Cases cover purchasing and supply chain issues in a variety of settings, from process industries to high tech manufacturing and services as well as public institutions. Supply Management concepts, both strategic and tactical, have been expanded throughout the text, particularly in new chapters on Supply Law and Ethics, Public Supply, and Supplier Relations. While all basic tenets of the purchasing function and cost issues remain, the coverage of the field is state of the art highlighting the supply chain approach.

[Haytham Badawey · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read the 13th edition of this book, by authors Leenders, Johnson, Flynn, and Fearon. I really learned so much from this book, it's a great book because it discusses many aspects about business supply and purchasing application.

This book is a great introduction, but it does not cover intermediate or advanced topics, just the basics. After reading this book, I am now ready to develop my knowledge in supply chain management.

This book is a general approach to Purchasing and sourcing. It does have decent Case Studies that cover a broad array of topics.
