This is excellent manuscript from Aditya to improve supplier managing process. Ricky Jack, Vice President Global Operations (Retd), DuPont Solae LLC., USA “Procurement function of any organization is run by the most responsible person. If anything goes wrong, he or she who heads Purchase is generally the one held responsible. There’s always a sense of fire-fighting - raw materials must reach the plant on time, but there shouldn’t be excess inventory. Inputs must be at the lowest cost, but vendors must be loyal - even if payments are delayed, just in time even if forecast accuracy is 50%. Into this apparent chaos flutters the pages of this book, an enjoyable and educative narration on how to massage a modicum of method into the madness. Fantastic tale and a treatise from Aditya.” Dr. Anjan Ray, Director – CSIR, Indian Institute of Petroleum, INDIA.
