Summary: Excellent!
Comment: This book does come at very very very hefty price, but it is so much worth it. This is where I totally disagree with the previous reviwer. I have found it hard to find a book that explains the concepts of logistics and supply chain management in a clearer fashion than this book. Every chapter features a number of case studies in which the theory is discussed in-depth. In addition the figures and illustrations are clear cut and easy to understand. A must have for both student and practitioner.

Summary: Not the one to start with
Comment: This is certainly not the very book on supply chain management to begin with. Initially appealing logical structure and organisation of the material turns into little more than summarised statements on the entire variety of logistics concepts. In my opinion, the book significanly lacks the integrity and applicability of the fundamental work of the authors' Cranfield colleague Martin Christopher.
The dry and schematic nature of the text risks finding sympathy only of the mature experienced logistics professionals.
