For all courses in Materials Management, Production, Inventory Control, and Logistics taught in business and industrial technology departments of community colleges, four-year colleges, and universities.
Introduction to Materials Management, Seventh Edition covers all the essentials of modern supply chain management, manufacturing planning and control systems, purchasing, and physical distribution. Clearly written and exceptionally user-friendly, its content, examples, questions, and problems lead students step-by-step to mastery. This edition’s extensive updates include: new techniques, technology, and case studies; reorganized and expanded coverage of lean production and JIT manufacturing; new information on sustainability and “green” production; use of INCOTERMS for global supply chains; revised end-of-chapter problems, and more. Widely adopted by colleges and universities worldwide, this is the only APICS-listed reference text for the Basics of Supply Chain Management (BSCM) CPIM certification examination.
Very concise and excellent introduction to anyone working in Materials Management, Supply Chain Management, Operations Management or Plant Floor. This is especially helpful for people working in Information Technology who would like to understand larger scope of business. This book is also a very good study guide for APICS CPIM and CSCP exams.
So far I'm very impressed with this book. Have been meaning to purchase it for a while, but just wasn't sure of the price tag. If I were in University classes I'd have to make the purchase, but I'm studying on my own for the CPIM. That made me a little bit on the side of if I don't have time to read it then it's a big waste of money. So far it's a very informative read. My experience is in logistics and supply chain and have worked in other countries besides the US, so having a plain English book detailing terminology has filled in some blanks.
My only gripe about this book is that it's the Kindle version, yet it doesn't adjust font size like most kindle books. So you are left with pinching or spreading to adjust the size of each page. Other features such as dictionary pop up and highlight, etc all work fine. Just wish that I could adjust the font size so I could read it more easily on my 8" tablet in portrait mode. Using it landscape mode the letters are more easily read, but for me the half page view is just a little annoying. For $90+ this book should have better ability for font adjustments.
From the other reviewer, I haven't come across what they were saying. I flipped through the book a great deal trying to find it but can't seem to. Hopefully it just has to do with the reader you use because so far mine all seem to work fine with Kindle books.
