"Most other books in this area attempt to do too much and are too long and cumbersome in their treatment of the subject matter. Perhaps the overall best characteristic of this text is its direct, no-nonsense treatment in a concise and understandable manner. This keeps the book relatively short but still includes all that is necessary." - Ralph G. Kauffman, University of Houston-Downtown "This text does not overcomplicate basic concepts. It has been developed to convey rather than display knowledge." - John H. Collins, Chair, Basics of Supply Chain Management Committee, APICS Certification Program
