FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Supplier Relationship Management - an Implementation Framework
(TEMPE, Arizona) September 8, 2011— CAPS Research releases a focus study research
report "Supplier Relationship Management - an Implementation Framework." This research
examines the integrated approach required to optimize supplier relationships. Leading
firms hold the strong belief that improving supplier relationships will lead to
improvement of buying (and selling) company performance, be it at the operations
level or overall firm level in technology or innovation breakthroughs. Five key
work streams are detailed (supply base rationalization with purchase family/supplier
segmentation; supplier management; relationship management; buyer/supplier development;
supplier performance measurement and management) and several case studies are presented.
The study also highlights the significant resource commitment, infrastructure investment,
stakeholder education, executive support, and patience required for the most effective
supplier management environment.
The complimentary focus study "Supplier Relationship Management - an Implementation Framework" is available on the CAPS Research public website
www.capsresearch.org.
First time visitors will be prompted to
register
to access the study. For more information about this focus study or other reports, contact CAPS Research at
