Great book!
Very useful and highlighted my instructors notes very well. Not an overwhelming amount of text. This book highlights the main ideas of logistics and supply chain management; due to the many subjects, doesn't go into much depth. I would recommend this book to others who are interested in the supply chain process/logistics.

Not Impressed
While this book fulfilled my educational requirement, I did not find it to be written well. Did not like the format and the content seemed a bit elementary. But I was thrilled at the price of the book rental through Amazon Rental; that rocked!

Excellent text for undergrad Uni students
This text is directly applicable for international supply chain management at a second or third year Uni level. Great coverage of core concepts.

Wouldn't be my first choice but it got the job done
The book was a requirement for a Master's class I'm taking. If it wasn't about logistics and supply chain management, I would have loved it. But I can't blame the authors for the topic. That's what its about, hated the topic but the book helped.

Very Good
Just finished this manual, and must say was amazing. The writers, before using technical words/expressions, explain what it is. The leading of the subjects is logic presenting examples to reinforces the learned material. For me was extremely useful.

A good introduction provided that you are at the very beginning of your supply chain studies. Perhaps too basic for other readers.
