Just an introduction to the supply chain concept 2007-10-12 This book repeats many time same items and is too focused on distribution business e.g. Walmart, Paper utilities... and does not address the industrial worls such as in aeronautic, defense... The information convied in this book is very general. for my point of view, it is unsufficient to start setting up a supply chain.
Good Overview 2007-09-28 This book provides a good overview of the basic principles of supply Chain Managment. After reading the book, I was able to directly apply the principles to solve several problems in supply chains I am dealing with in my supplier development job.
The principles are logically presented and backed up with examples that illustrate their application. I would recommend this book especially for people in Manufacturing or engineering who are trying to understand how to improve performance across a supply chain or how to make their supply chain management process more efficient and effective.
Buen libro para principiantes 2007-06-06 Se entienden rapidamente los conceptos principales, un buen libro de comienzo en el tema.
Good "Executive Summary" 2006-11-02 One of the best primers I have read so far on SCM. While not a blue-print on how to implment SCM, it really does provide an excellent overview of the benefits of SCM and the steps a company would take to introduce SCM. One of the best sections of the book introduces new trends within SCM. This section alone made the book a good investment. Recommend it for top management looking to get a good, but basic understanding of SCM
