A new book: The Handbook of Logistics and Distribution Management: Understanding the Supply Chain explains the functions and elements related to logistics, supply chain and distribution management. This revised 6th edition includes the latest advances in logistics and covers new topics being studied on academic and professional courses.
“The scope of logistics continues to grow rapidly,” sayss Director of Dialog Consultants and co-author Alan Rushton. To accommodate and adapt to this growth, the book retains its original aim: “to provide a text with both simplicity of style and relevance of context.”
With the first edition published in 1989, the Handbook’s 30-year pedigree shows the relevance of the topic and the need for a new edition. The first of its kind in the field, especially in Europe, content for the first edition was initially discussed around 1987, and while celebrating its 30th anniversary of conception, the book proves to be a necessary resource for logistics managers, students and academics.
