Excellent Strategic Source

By L. Lovett "LA Daddio" - October 17, 2011

The Supply Management Handbook is one of those references you just have to have. The book's primary focus is Supply Management; the strategic methods used to select suppliers, evaluate suppliers, and make your supply network a competitive advantage. It also covers Logistics, Finance and future supply strategies. Bottom line, it's a comprehensive look at all the important factors of Supply Chain Management. I've worked in Supply Chain for 10 years and I've used this book to teach undergraduate and graduate level Supply Chain Management classes.

Kindle version

By Conrad Velarde - May 1, 2013

The Kindle version is ok. It provides all the content needed but it does not provide page numbers or the option to zoom in or out to make it and easier read. Not having page numbers makes it difficult to follow along in a classroom setting.
