Best supply chain strategy book I have read
8 Nov 2005
Format:Paperback
This is by far the best supply chain strategy book I have read. It was recommended to me by a friend who is a part-time postgraduate student in London and a management consultant for a leading international firm.I wanted a book that would provide me with up-to-date thinking and a good understanding of supply chain strategies. This book did not disappoint. I have read a number of others but they were overly complex and full of jargon. This book cuts through the jargon, has excellent explanations of key topics and presents clear arguments and discussion. This is by far the best written and most comprehensive of all the books I looked at. It has enabled me to really grasp supply chain issues and I have now completed my MBA module in supply chain. Anyone else wanting to do the same should get hold of this book. I can wholeheartedly recommend it.
