"Non-mathematical in nature, clearly emphasizing the more important service sector to a much greater degree than the manufacturing sector." [...] "The book provides a comprehensive and recent review of literature in the area. The 14 chapters list a total of 517 references, almost all of which are published since the year 2000. A very good academic reference and useful, practical guide in the area of SCM."

– King Fahd, University of Petroleum & Minerals, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 61, No. 11
