The Cheapest Supplier (Business Novel) (PDF)

The Cheapest Supplier is a 71-page business novel in PDF format from the TechnoBiz Business Novel Series. It follows a manufacturing company that switches to a supplier offering a significantly lower price and full specification compliance, only to discover that the apparent purchasing savings create hidden costs across production, quality, energy, rework, customer service and overall business performance. Through realistic factory situations, management decisions and cross-functional conflicts, the novel explores the important difference between price and total business cost, showing why the cheapest supplier on an invoice may not always be the cheapest supplier for the business.
