Supply Chain is the process which integrates, coordinates and controls the movement of goods, materials and information from a supplier to a customer to the final consumer.

A review in Bifa-Link July 2005 says:
"Using easy to understand diagrams and practical language, it deals with the processes in the supply chain.
The author, Stuart Emmett, has done a great job in writing a valuable text book that managers, and junior staff alike, will find easy to read and understand".
The Institute of Supply Management in the USA has further commented that:
"This book is a very concise overview of the key concepts of modern supply chain management being utilized today.
He has organized his approach by distilling his information into 8 supply chain rules and 5 key aspects of supply chain management. From there he expands with greater detail into the historical milestone approaches that have taken place over the last 40 years in supply.
He then gives very practical summarizations of various supply chain operations, strategies and approaches.
Mr. Emmett references the change needed in the U.K. to embrace the change to a fully collaborative approach, however this change is relevant to all companies attempting to achieve or maintain "world class" supply chain management practice".

This book is great for a beginner- of course its not really 90 minutes but can be read in one sitting. By the end of this book you will have a good idea of what supply chain is and for the money it is definately worth it.
