Supply chain management book for the professional market
LogicTools founders' long-awaited professional edition is available |
Chicago - January 8th, 2004 - LogicTools, Inc., a leading supply chain planning provider, announced today that "Managing the supply chain", written by founders David and Edith Simchi-Levi, together with Professor Philip Kaminsky of UC Berkeley, was recently published by McGraw-Hill. The book is intended to bring the same thought-leadership to the professional market that the award-winning "Designing and Managing the Supply Chain" (written by same) contributed to the educational market.
The educational version has been the best-selling book in supply chain management since its publication in 1999, winning the Book-of-the-year award and the Outstanding IIE Publication award given in 2000 by the Institute of Industrial Engineers, as well as the Outstanding First Edition of the Year Award given in 2000 by McGraw-Hill. Business 2.0 selected the book in December 2001 "as the best source for slashing time and costs and increasing productivity in the supply chain." It [the book] has been translated into Chinese (both in China and Taiwan), Japanese, Korean and Portuguese.
"In the last few years, supply chain management has become increasingly important not only to logistics professionals but also to executives and managers from all over the organization. The book presents our collective insights and experience in supply chain management focusing on concepts, strategies and models for improving supply chain performance," remarked Edith Simchi-Levi, LogicTools' VP of Operations.
LogicTools has been using the concepts presented in the book, in particular global optimization and network planning, to provide companies with software that enables them to make better decisions for their supply chain. LogicTools' expertise and thought-leadership is well known in the industry and has motivated leading companies to work with LogicTools both as customers and partners.
