Review based on 4th edition: A hands on and mathematical approach to the various factors involved in logistics mgt.Good treatment of customer service,transportation, inventory and location strategies. Numerous problems and examples explain how to immediately apply the tools - whether you are calculating the cost of what you are carrying in your warehouse, testing the feasibility of additional warehouses, or calculating service level/fill rate (they are different...) Includes a cool Logware CD-ROM for those interested in solving transportation, inventory problems without the headaches of programming. Overall a good textbook for a logistics course.
