Book Review: Logistics and Supply Chain Management

This book by Martin Christopher, Logistics & Supply Chain Management, is one of the better if not among the best books on supply chain management. Written by Professor Martin Christopher of the Cranfield School of Management ,the book deals particularly with best practices in supply chain management in the current era of globalization. Responsiveness, reliability and relationships are the basis for successful logistics and supply chain management. Strategies like Just-In-Time (JIT), Lean and Agile thinking are reviewed, and last not least, there is a very solid chapter on supply chain risk, which I will highlight in a separate post later.
