Common Sense Logistics: A Practical Guide to Making the Pieces Fit

The world of logistics is sometimes viewed as being extremely complex and difficult to understand. This author believes that, given some basic understanding and a holistic view of supply chain management and the concepts that govern it, logistics can be broken down into smaller pieces that are much more easily digested. This book is the "guide" that has stemmed from that belief. After an overview of logistics and a brief description of what a supply chain is, the reader will explore the various segments of that supply chain and be given a practical understanding of how each piece fits into the overall concept. Written as a guide to punctuate the necessity to apply common sense to both the planning and execution of a logistics network, this book will serve as a "go-to" resource for logistics planners as well as business owners to help them devise a strategy for either implementation of a new logistics plan or to re-create their existing network.
