Supply Chain Book Recommendations

[HDW]

I recently read a great book that you might want to look at. Covers Logistics over the last 400 years and how it all started with the Armies of Europe.

Great read.

Have read this myself, very interesting. The whole planning side of horse drawn wagons etc was a real eye opener.

I normally avoid 'Dummies' books totally. You know the ones, MS Word for Dummies etc etc. Just don't consider myself a dummy I guess and don't want to admit to being one, by buying a book that says I am :-) OK call me strange.

Was browsing at one the other day......of course I could not bring myself to buy it.... given the title, but it looked quite handy. If you are a dummy that it :-)

Can anyone suggest a basic (short) book that provides an outline of what Supply Chain managemet is all about. For non Supply Chain managers! Something they can read in a few hours.

Not for me of course.........for a customer :-)

Not strictly a Supply Chain book, but more focssed on Logistics and Distribution.

I have always found this to be a useful reference.

The Handbook of Logistics and Distribution.
by Alan Rushton, John Oxley, Phil Croucher.
ISBN: 0-7494-3365-5
