"A hands-on guide to help you develop your in-house supply chain strategy and your very own step-by-step plan on how to get there. Take this rare opportunity to explore a large variety of tools and examples in one single book!"

"A book that summarizes and explains many of the key techniques that make logistics the profession that it is. Certainly one that will not gather dust on a bookshelf, but will gather insight and understanding in the workplace."

"A great resource that not only provides the tools but also gives you a plan. Sufficiently succinct to give comprehensive coverage of the subject, but in enough depth to work as a stand-alone reference. I thoroughly recommend it."

"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. The toolkit provides an excellent resource to help in this task. Enhanced by many illustrations and tables, with inputs from a range of companies and practitioners and references to useful websites and literature, this book is a must-buy for anyone interested in learning more about this fascinating industry."

"The Logistics and Supply Chain Toolkit, third edition, is a well-researched, substantial reference book. Packed full of clear examples and with a very structured approach, this is an excellent practical guide into the understanding of logistics tools and how to apply them in the real world. It's a must-read for anyone who is involved in logistics and supply chain management."
