The Management of Business Logistics Textbook

I found this to be a great book at a very good price. It covers the fundamentals of Business Logistics through the Supply Chain functions completely. Check this one out.

Very Thorough

The book is very thorough, it covers all the major topics and then some of business logistics

Immediate delivery

The book was in great condition for being used amd I received it in half the time!

This book has been dramatically improved in the 7th edition

The book takes the reader progressively from the most simple concepts to the complexities of logistics. It is true that this is not a quantitive book, but it is a very conceptual and didactic logistics book with many cases and graphs. An internet site provided by the publisher with transparencies, internet site references, and other supports to this book makes it an excellent tool. There is a lot of value in the package offered.

Value for Money

I have used this book as a reference whilst as a student and recommended it as a lecturer. The material it contains is explained in detail and most if not all major areas of Logistics and Supply Chain Management have been covered to some extent.Topics like ECR that are today considered "new" or "cutting edge" were mentioned in this book.It does not gloss over theories and calculations but actually walks you through these step-by-step.I have read and used a number of Logistics or SCM books over the years. If you take all factors into account, including price, which is relevant to most students, you get absolute value for money.
