Format:Hardcover
I had the pleasure to meet Martin Christopher in person when I was a student of Cranfield University, trying to get my MSc in Logistics and Supply Chain Management. Martin Christopher is in reality what is depicted in his book - simply a pure genious. This particular book gives an extremely good explanation of what Logistics is, using a very simple language and many many case studies. It can easily be read by a student but also be used as a manual by a professional. The reader should especially focus on the chapters discussing about global Logistics. This is really a very useful tool for all the people involved with the SCIENCE and ART of logistics.

Martin not only knows his stuff about logistics he can also write, whitch cannot be said about most authors in this category.
A very good book especially for non-logisticans who wants an introduction in this field. It has not too many fancy words and is very much focused on the business process rather than logistics as such.
If I were to have one book in logistics management in my bookshelf, it would be this one.

This is a superb summary and introduction to the key logistics issues. Customer service, the benchmarking of supply chains, logistics costs and performance, the strategic issues and the Japanese techniques are all covered.
Great for plucking quotes, such as 'uncertainty is the mother of inventory'. Lots of diagrams and case studies. As a practising supply chain professional, I thoroughly recommend this book.
As Professor of Marketing and Logistics at Cranfield, Martin Christopher is one of the leading lights in logistics
