The book has got the Award of Book of the Year by the Bar of Organization Experts and Management Consultants especially because it positions partnership in a clear way in the midst of current developments in the industry in the area of purchase and contracting out. A new form of partnership is required to make top-class manufacturing strategies work. If they are to attain their goals, manufacturers must regard suppliers and particularly main suppliers as an extension of their own business, as teammates and not as adversaries. They must be full partners in results in order to obtain high ego involvement from each team member. Remember there is no restricting hierarchical structure. Experience shows that partnership can realize savings of production costs from 10% - 35%. The integration and the process of cooperation can be divided into three categories: Logistics, Quality and Development. The new business reality is that the most competitive manufacturer is oriented towards the in-house process as well as the delivery process. This book shows you when and how a supplier-client relationship is useful and it provides a valuable reference model for evolving the supplier-client relationship into a mutually supportive alliance. The book can be considered as a practical and educational document.
