This review is from: Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment: How to Create a Supply Chain Advantage (Hardcover)
This book explores the topic of CPFR and I found the read enlightening. Many specific examples makes the read quite entertaining.
Only issue is that the book is written by a long list of authors so some of the topics are re-discussed several places in the book.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Must-read on CPFR,

This review is from: Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment: How to Create a Supply Chain Advantage (Hardcover)
The book is a reasonable well written summary of the CPFR concept and it's evolvement from past processes and strategies. However, what I missed was a more detailed look into calculations and detailed process descriptions. In the end the book is rather an "advertisement" for CPFR, with lots of commentators and citations. If this topic is a complete new concept, the book makes for a decent introduction, for the practicioner it is a little "dry" without the looked-for details.
