After every rise, there comes a fall, and for Bradford's trolleybuses this started soon after their Jubilee in 1961. With over 190 images, this book follows the story from their heyday to their ultimate end in 1972.

Bradford trolleybuses were first introduced in 1911 and last used in 1972. With over 180 images, this book, the first of two volumes on Bradford trolleybuses, showcases the trolleybuses at work on different routes around the city, returning them to their heyday of 1961.

Outside York are many small country villages and bus operators were needed to provide services. This book tells the story of stage bus companies who operated from the west of York.

Much has been written on leadership and management topics - unfortunately though, we continue to find that many managers and leaders have never actually studied, examined or reflected in any practical way at all, on what they actually do, beyond having perhaps refreshed and updated their specialist technical skills. This book therefore addresses these issues, with a particular focus on defining, expanding on and providing examples of good leadership, management, motivation and change, across all areas of the Supply Chain and Procurement environment. Key chapter areas include: ¿ Managing self and personal skills ¿ Providing direction ¿ Facilitating change ¿ Working with people ¿ Using resources ¿ Achieving results

Therefore, in this Procurement Strategy book, we will now take this vision forward, and show how to align an organisational corporate strategy with an organisation's procurement objectives. In doing this, we will take the view that the design and implementation of a Procurement Strategy must consider demand (and the customers), the organisation's processes and the supply (and the suppliers).

Little has been written on the links between Inventory and Supply Chain Management, yet it is a critical component of all Supply Chains. This book explores and explains these critical links, and is intended for: . Professional managers in all supply chain roles and job positions. . Academics such as lecturers or students studying business topics like procurement, logistics, distribution, and the supply chain. . Students of professional institutes such as the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, The Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply. The style of the book is direct, with little jargon. It covers all the basics, as well as providing detailed and wider discussions to encourage thought. Practical application remains a central theme, illustrated by the extensive use of case studies, application checklists and visual and graphic illustrations.
