Supply Chain Logistics Management is exciting and promises to bolster traditional logistics courses and invigorate supply chain management courses, by examining traditional logistics issues within the context of the supply chain. Most textbooks approach this subject from a limited perspective, studying only internal functions of an organization to the exclusion of issues that relate to the entire supply chain. Supply Chain Logistics Management, provides a solid foundation that clearly describes the role of logistics within the supply chain, portraying a complete view of the subject and going farther to show how all the pieces fit together.

5.0 out of 5 stars
an extremely good teacher on supply chain management,
By Philip (Shanghai, China) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Supply Chain Logistics Management (Hardcover)
The authors of the book are quite well-known as professors in Michigan Uni.It is one of the best book for a new-comer or student to supply chain field.It owns a lot of industrial insights as supporting cases and also, quite a few other useful data and tables.The theoretic structure of the book is quite fruitful and helpful, especially to whom wanna have a clear and complete picture of the supply chain management.It not only discuss the issues of logistics and supply chain management, but also, which I think is much more constructive, provide the reader a whole new view of the business operation and management.It raises the question how to run a successful and competitive firm and offers some useful ideas to help the reader to reach the conclusion by himself.It is quite a good book for students to use at class and read off class as well.Of course,managers who interested in supply chain and logistics should appreciate it very much!

Supply Chain Management,
By DMS (Seattle) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Supply Chain Logistics Management. Donald J. Bowersox, David J. Closs, M. Bixby Cooper (Paperback)
I typically don't review books, but after seeing these reviews I just had to chime in. I think I took the same class as GPP and agree, it is a hard read. There must be several books out there (Perhaps Lean Distribution by Zylstra) that can teach you just as much but with more down to earth wording. The text example in the review by J. Jericho pretty much sums it up.

This review is from: Supply Chain Logistics Management. Donald J. Bowersox, David J. Closs, M. Bixby Cooper (Paperback)
This book is an incredibly hard read. The program that I took used this book and even the instructor said it sucked. Those of us already in the industry use much more complex methods and they are explained way more simply than this mass of words.
