SRM Handbook

The SRM Handbook

This e-book is based on research on the subject and many years of practical experience working in procurement and with suppliers. It was written because we saw many procurement leaders being unsure of how to establish and manage a value-creating Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) program. The e-book is designed to provide procurement leaders with practical advice from A–Z on building a value-creating SRM program. The e-book covers the following topics:
  • Why SRM?
  • What is SRM?
  • Is your team ready for SRM?
  • How to build the business case for an SRM investment?
  • What are the key steps in implementing an SRM program?
