Take this rare opportunity to explore a large variety of tools and examples in one single book!" -- Corina Roman, MBA, PMP, Prince2, Project Manager, Healthcare Industry, Australia "The Logistics and Supply Chain Toolkit, second edition, is a well-researched, substantial reference book.

It's a must-read for anyone who is involved in logistics and supply chain management." -- Carole Verry, Consultant, France "An invaluable source of practical information on all aspects of the supply chain, which will be useful to both practitioners and those studying the subject at any academic level.

All in all a real practical guideline to improve your business!" -- Rolf Neise, Visiting Professor at ISM International School of Management, Hamburg "The Logistics and Supply Chain Toolkit is a highly practical book.
