The Handbook of Logistics and Distribution Management Reviews

"Now in its fourth edition, The Handbook of Logistics and Distribution Management provides invaluable technical information and is written in an accessible and informative manner. The new chapters on supply chain segmentation, air transport, maritime transport and outsourcing are a welcome addition. I would recommend this as one of the most readable books available for logistics and supply chain students and professionals around the world." * Dorothea Carvalho, Director of Professional Development, CILT *
"A whopping 720 pages filled with a wealth of information on all aspects of the supply chain, from raw materials through to final distribution of the finished product." * Martijn Graat, Logisticsmatter.com *
"This book defines the fundamental functions and elements of logistics and distribution, and provides a broad strategic framework for planning. Because planning strategies, distribution methods, and retail channels are constantly changing, supply chain and logistics managers will find this a good up-to-date reference tool, with actionable information and suggestions that they can apply today." * Jason McDowell, Inbound Logistics *
"Intended, both as a reference for current logistics managers as well as a text for students, this updated edition includes new chapters on supply chain segmentation, air and marine transport, and the ever frequent decision to outsource. The latter can take place in a variety of areas, grouped here into the categories of warehousing, transport, and value added services. Although published in the UK and covering European Union legislation, most of the book is internationally applicable, treating standard issues of supply chain management." * Book News, Inc. *
"This book does exactly what it says on the tin. It is perfect as a starting point for essay writing for students, or as a reference book for those working in logistics." * Logistics and Transport Focus *
