Title: The Purchasing Handbook: A Guide for the Purchasing and Supply Professional by Joseph L. Cavinato, Ralph G. Kauffman ISBN: 0-07-134526-4 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Trade Pub. Date: 17 December, 1999 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $99.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.25 (4 reviews)
Rating: 2
Summary: Complete disappointment.
Comment: This book is unnecessarily verbose, incoherent, and nowhere close to what its title suggests.
This book is a collection of articles/chapters written by different authors. As a result of that, not only there is no connection and coherency among chapters but also topics covered in the seemingly related chapters are different and unrelated. The coherency and relationship among chapters are just limited to their names not what is inside them. For example, in "Part 5: Item and Industry Practice" there are separate chapters on "Raw Material", "MRO Materials", "Software and Intellectual Properties", "Capital Equipments" to name a few. I would imagine that each of these chapters will discuss purchasing process, nuances, and best practices for these items. But unfortuantely, all these chapters are independant and adderess totally different issues.
I guess, if you want to learn about purchasing, you would be better off searching on the web and reading different articles on purchasing then spending money on this book.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent book
Comment: This book is the procurement bible for both purchasing beginners and professionals. It is necessary for anybody related to procurement, even for IT people. Well, I am into IT ! I strongly recommend this book.
Rating: 5
Summary: Purchasing Handbook ** An All-In-One Guide
Comment: 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!!!
