I used this text in a graduate logistics class, and while clearly written and suitable for beginners, it is also excellent for more advanced students. The eighth edition is very current with discussions of topics like JIT, JIT II, and early RFID technology (although much has happened in the last year in RFID, already making the text somewhat dated in that regard.) I found that the case studies were well written and the real world examples cited in the book were well conceived to illustrate the intended points. Learning goals and reviews were useful, and while I did not use all of the reviews, the ones I did use assisted my comprehension of the material.

This book is great for an aspiring logistician or someone already in the workforce as a logistics or supply chain professional. This is definitely one of the best texts I have been exposed to in my graduate business classes, and I firmly believe that it would be equally useful in an upper level undergraduate class as well. I deducted one star not for any shortcoming of the book per se, but because of the outrageous price, which is, of course no fault of the author.

Anyone working in the logistics and delivery field must read this book and keep it in your library. The book is all-inclusive so you don't need lots of others. This may help justify the high price.

SCM is my major for the Bachelors degree. I think this book offers a good overview over Logistics and I will use it in the future. I actually was surprised to see chapters about trobles I had on my job in this book. Definetly a worthy book to keep in the library as a business student.

So far this has been the best reading textbook I've ever had. Of course, I'm biased since it is in the specialization area of my Master's Degree, so the material interests me. 1/2 way through the course, and learning alot from reading this book. Highly recommended.

I received the book on time for the start of my class. I would recommend this seller in the future.

This textbook was required in my MBA, and delivered lots of information, case studies, and contained a CD for extra study. Packed with up to date information. Amazon delivered it on time and less costly than the college bookstore.

The book I received is in like new condition it came quickly using the expedite shipping

Recieved in a timely manner- book in great condition. Some markings- but ledgible. Will be ordering again from this site for my school books- saved over $200.
