Sharing Supply Chain Secrets: Developing Transparency
Professor Lamming will explore the difficulties experienced by managers in supply relationships in dealing with strategic information. Established approaches appear to be based upon notional customer superiority and supplier acquiescence - resulting in unnecessarily high transaction costs. The presentation will include an account of current work in the Centre for Research in Strategic Purchasing and Supply which is developing practical ways of changing this situation, and a conceptual model for the principle of transparency.
Professor Richard Lamming
Richard Lamming became fascinated by supply chain relationships as fresh engineering graduate apprentice, working in Purchasing at Jaguar Cars, Coventry, UK. Twenty five years later, he is still fascinated by them - and with what is wrong with the way they are managed.
Since 1991, Professor Richard Lamming has held the CIPS Chair of Purchasing and Supply Management at the School of Management, University of Bath, in the UK, where he founded the Centre for Research in Strategic Purchasing and Supply (CRiSPS). He was Director of CRiSPS until 2001 and Head of Corporate Development for the School of Management between 1996 and 2000. He is now Head of Research for the School.
From 1986-90 he was a senior member of the International Motor Vehicle Programme, based at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA) and the Science Policy Research Unit, University of Sussex (UK). He was subsequently part of a small team which contributed to the best-selling book, The Machine That Changed the World (1990). It was this book which launched the concept of lean production. Professor Lamming developed the concept of lean supply in another book in 1993: Beyond Partnership: Strategies for Innovation and Lean Supply
In addition to his academic work, he is a non-executive director of Vendigital Ltd. (direct materials internet auctions) and is a member of the Board of Advisors for Diligent Software Inc. (California) (software for strategic sourcing).
