Designed to be read as a guide for selecting and negotiating with suppliers of capital equipment, Douchkoff's book also deals with the special issue of how to purchase at less frequent intervals. This is of particular importance to the purchasing department since lead times are most often quite long-sometimes months, even years. A long lead time puts a premium on the ability of a purchasing department to select suppliers and negotiate mutually advantageous partnerships with them.
Another special feature of this book is a description of how to use the Material Positioning Matrix when forming alliances with suppliers. Douchkoff demonstrates how the key to devising a successful supply strategy for purchasing capital equipment is to align it with your overall company strategy. The Material Positioning Matrix is designed to rectify that situation by providing simple tools which require companies to develop a proactive process.
