Well done overview

Good general intro and overview. Provided me with ideas about and insights into my own supply chain. Lots of helpful resources listed.

Great quick overview

Simple language and relatively solid yet broad introduction to SCM. Highly recommend for those not directly accountable for SCM work but needing enough background to understand the topic.

This was an awesome listen, especially with Mr. Yen! I listen with it sped up while reading the actual book for information retention. This was by far one of my favorites delving into the fundamentals of Supply Chain Management. So many nuggets if one is receptive. If you're in the field, this is a wonderful refresher. If not, wonderful primer. Looking forward to my next listens!

Simple and organized

I enjoyed the way this book is structured, made it very easy to follow and understand.

Great Introduction

Introduces supply chain management to the public in a way that is more easily understood and interesting (the beer game). Clever stuff guys. Thanks
