[Prithvi Shams · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very accessible read on how to produce surplus value in supply chain management by various techniques, be it cementing trust among suppliers and distributors(something akin to "keiretsu" in Japanese industries) or adopting lean manufacturing techniques. The case studies of various companies like Chrysler and Walmart add to the value of the text.
