This is a Compilation of good articles. It gives an idea about Supply Chain thoughts developed over a period of time. We cannot see all articles connected and establish a chain of thoughts because it seems a book was not planned when the author was writing these articles. However,Very good book for knowing the fundamental concepts of supply chain.

Gives a rough idea on supply chain management.Fails to elaborate on he subject, sometimes no link between one article to other. The author has the ability to explain very well. Better to take some leading journal articles for discussion.

I was disappointed. Make sure you understand that this book is a compilation of a series of articles that appeared from mid-1980 to mid-1990. Two problems arise: 1) Since each article is brief, there is no depth to the subject matter, and 2) though a valiant attempt was made to organize the articles into logical chapters and categories, the truth-of-the-matter is that the flow of information from one article to another can be disjointed and difficult to follow. With all due respect, the author points this out in his Introduction, but alas, I had already purchased the book.

Perfect book for anyone interested in learning the fundamental and competitive advantages of supply chain planning. Very interesting and enlightening. It's quite rare that I respond to book reviews, it's that good!
