Editorial Review:
Designing and Managing the Supply Chain, 3/e provides state-of-the-art models, concepts, and solution methods that are important for the design, control, operation, and management of supply chain systems. In particular, the authors attempt to convey the intuition behind many key supply chain concepts and to provide simple techniques that can be used to analyze various aspects of the supply chain. Topical coverage reflects the authors� desire to introduce students to those aspects of supply chain management that are critical to the success of a business. Although many essential supply chain management issues are interrelated, the authors strive to make each chapter as self-contained as possible, so that the reader can refer directly to chapters covering topics of interest. Each chapter utilizes numerous case studies and examples, and mathematical and technical sections can be skipped without loss of continuity.. . The 3rd edition represents a substantial revision. While the structure and philosophy were kept intact, the authors placed an increasing importance on finding or developing effective frameworks that illustrate many important supply chain issues. At the same time, motivated by new developments in industry, they added material on a variety of topics new to the book while increasing the coverage of others..

Disappointment  2008-09-23
I'm not sure if the author believes his style is better or just wanted to be different than traditional texts. Either way, it fails. Specifically, he does not explicitly state most formulas. He likes to embed the individual terms within paragraphs of text rather than clearly define the variables. The case studies used drone on and on. Ok, I understand that in real life we are given more information than we need, but jeez, no need to fill droves of pages with irrelevant information. Makes me believe he had a minimum book page quota to meet.
And the student CD was clearly an after thought or a ploy to charge a premium as there is very little on the CD and none of it usefull. Where are the homework data tables? Student notes?
This book is a big disapointment.
