One of my favorite go-to books on supply chain management. Concise, easy to reference and topical. At this point, slightly out of date, but not so much so that most businessmen/women can't still use it to make decisions, train employees and drive business. I've used it repeatedly with people with no supply chain experience and have found that there is just enough background information to make it comprehensible as a stand-alone book, and recommend it for that reason.

6/10. I didn't really know if I should put this on here, but I did read this entire book, so, I'm adding it. This helped me fill in some gaps that I didn't understand from my course.

Very well explained and comprehensive. Great concepts to apply to the real life. Unfortunately I skipped all the parts of formulas because I suck at maths (gonna learn them all by doing courses and solving real-life cases)😅😂
