Customer Rating: 

I typically don't review books, but after seeing these reviews I just had to chime in. I think I took the same class as GPP and agree, it is a hard read. There must be several books out there (Perhaps Lean Distribution by Zylstra) that can teach you just as much but with more down to earth wording. The text example in the review by J. Jericho pretty much sums it up.

Customer Rating: 

This book is an incredibly hard read. The program that I took used this book and even the instructor said it sucked. Those of us already in the industry use much more complex methods and they are explained way more simply than this mass of words.

Customer Rating: 

The descripton was accurate, the pricing reasonable and the service fast. No problems, no hassles.

Customer Rating: 

Product was delivered ontime and in excellent condition. I will buy books from this retailer again.

I used this text for a university management course, and had a horrible time learning from the book; the writing style is so elaborate and dry, it put me in a coma. For example, here is a "gem" from pages 9 & 10:
"One could argue that the challenges and benefits of integrative management offered sufficient reason for the supply chain revolution. However, other basic drivers continue to make supply chain arrangements even more appealing. A fundemental paradigm shift in strategic thinking occured as a direct impact of information technology. Information connectivity creates the potential for developing responsive business models. To elaborate the far-reaching implications of this major development, it is useful to contrast traditional or anticipatory business practice to the emerging time-based responsive business model."
The writers of this double-talk are issuing a new edition, and i hope professors don't adopt it for the sake of their students' sanity.
