This book provides the complete groundwork for setting policies and procedures in a purchasing department. As a new purchasing agent, I value this resource, which enabled me to develop a functional, effective purchasing department.

1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated and Old, June 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Policy and Procedures Manual for Purchasing and Materials Control (Plastic Comb)

How things used to be, not how they are today. Old processes, old way of doing things. Unfortunately, there's really nothing else out there to fill the gap - this may be the best available. Be warned, if you want to set up a proactive purchasing department, this is not how to do it.
