Great book

SCM is my major for the Bachelors degree. I think this book offers a good overview over Logistics and I will use it in the future. I actually was surprised to see chapters about trobles I had on my job in this book. Definetly a worthy book to keep in the library as a business student.

Excellent Logistics Text

I used this text in a graduate logistics class, and while clearly written and suitable for beginners, it is also excellent for more advanced students. The eighth edition is very current with discussions of topics like JIT, JIT II, and early RFID technology (although much has happened in the last year in RFID, already making the text somewhat dated in that regard.) I found that the case studies were well written and the real world examples cited in the book were well conceived to illustrate the intended points. Learning goals and reviews were useful, and while I did not use all of the reviews, the ones I did use assisted my comprehension of the material. This book is great for an aspiring logistician or someone already in the workforce as a logistics or supply chain professional. This is definitely one of the best texts I have been exposed to in my graduate business classes, and I firmly believe that it would be equally useful in an upper level undergraduate class as well. I deducted one star not for any shortcoming of the book per se, but because of the outrageous price, which is, of course no fault of the author.

Required reading for the new logistics professional

Anyone working in the logistics and delivery field must read this book and keep it in your library. The book is all-inclusive so you don't need lots of others. This may help justify the high price.
