Customer Reviews

Business Logistics Management

I am teacher in the university. I need him.

Practice in Logistics

I believe that this book is very usefull for the people that really want to practice with some basic logistic concepts as TSP problems, Routing problems, Inventory Policies etc. The use of the computer programs provided by the CD rom is the winning chioce to get really focused on these problematics.

A thorough textbook

This a very usefull book that helps you to get a handle on the main issues of Logistics. Its treatment of the issues is deep but easy to read. A profitable bought.

Good reference for practicing logistics managers/students

Review based on 4th edition: A hands on and mathematical approach to the various factors involved in logistics mgt.Good treatment of customer service,transportation, inventory and location strategies. Numerous problems and examples explain how to immediately apply the tools - whether you are calculating the cost of what you are carrying in your warehouse, testing the feasibility of additional warehouses, or calculating service level/fill rate (they are different...) Includes a cool Logware CD-ROM for those interested in solving transportation, inventory problems without the headaches of programming. Overall a good textbook for a logistics course
