Lean sourcing: creating sustainable purchasing savings.(SELECTED TOPIC)
In the past decade the concepts of "lean" and "strategic sourcing" both made it onto the corporate main stage, separately capturing the executive and media spotlight. Outsiders viewed lean as an art practiced by operational wizards or "Six Sigma Black Belts," adept at reducing waste and improving performance and efficiency.

In the case of manufacturing, this resulted in reduced inventory, increased throughput and improved customer service levels. Lean also stressed lasting, collaborative relationships with suppliers and business partners.
