It isn't.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt a company that makes or moves things, the money paid to suppliers is often half or more of every sales dollar. It is also the sum of choices — what to buy, to what specification, from whom, on what terms — most of them made years ago by people who have since moved on. A few of those choices hold most of the money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Cost Is a Choice, Bill Canady, bestselling author of The 80\/20 CEO, shows chief executives and purchasing leaders how to find those few and make them on purpose. Build one spend file that ties to the ledger, cut it 80\/20, and take the fast money from overdue price reviews in the first hundred days. Then run the ten steps of strategic sourcing: should-cost before any bid, site visits with all eighty-four negotiable issues in hand, tough on the number and fair to the people, a second source for anything that can stop the line, and no saving counted until finance signs it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne invented company, Bramwell Range Company, does all of it from Day 0 to Day 1,000, every sum worked in the open.
