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!

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 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.

Just a note to support others here who have suggested this book is a hard read. The first 5 chapters, which make up the introductory section of the book, are especially dry and the wording overly academic. The next section, which moves into more specific topics is slightly better. I am a graduate student and I like to read textbooks so it is especially bad if I can't get through it. There were brief occasions where the text actually used clear language and provided examples and they provided a sad glimpse of how interesting this subject would suddenly become to students given a good introduction. Please consider having these first 5 chapters rewritten for the next edtion!

I received the book 6 business days after order was processed. Dec.16 to Dec.22.The book was sent by USPS which was not tracked although I was provided a tracking number. (and they wonder why they are losing business and money. The Jan. 12,2012delivery date was unacceptable. I have canceled orders and purchased locally because I must have my book before my first class

This book was very insightful for the Supply Chain and Logistics majors. I learned much of what I know on the subject from this book.

Thanks so much . You rated my book as used. I was so shocked when I got the book in 3 days and the book was in exceptional shape. I will try in the future to look you up personally for any of my text book need.

The descripton was accurate, the pricing reasonable and the service fast. No problems, no hassles.

Product was delivered ontime and in excellent condition. I will buy books from this retailer again.
