1. lean supply chain and logistics management (1st edition): paul myerson

this is the first of 2 logistics management books by paul myerson that i have selected. This book is a must have for all supply chain professionals/managers and if you know someone who is, I think it will be a perfect gift that he will keep on giving!!!

2. Warehouse Management: A Comprehensive Guide to Improving Efficiency and Minimizing Costs in the Modern Warehouse (2nd Edition): Gwynne Richards

A fundamental and integral aspect of any logistics and supply chain is warehouse management. Successful warehouse management is the key to reducing costs, increasing profit margins, and making your supply chain efficient and successful.

this book by gwynne richards provides all the knowledge for warehouse management and is the perfect manual, although it is quite extensive!

simply covers everything you will ever need to know about warehouse management, from what you may consider the obvious “warehouse role” to systematically covering everything warehouse related thereafter.

I made the particular reference to the ‘warehouse role’ because, ever since I studied business in school, I’ve always found that business is really about acknowledging and understanding the obvious so that the rest of the complex steps are successful. . That’s why, and to put it into words, when you’re reading them you’re thinking ‘obviously’ you have to get out of the box to see it. the author does this fantastically well, which is why this book is my go-to reference for warehouse management, which is why it appears in my top 7 logistics management books.

3. Supply Chain and Logistics Management Simplified: Methods and Applications for Network Planning, Operation, Integration, Control and Improvement, and Design (1st Edition): Paul A. myerson

This is the second book by Paul A. myerson that I have chosen to include in my top 7 logistics management books.

As I mentioned earlier, this is a great book that covers all things supply chain in such a readable, informative and understandable way, I just wish mr. myers had published this book when he was studying supply chain management ‘back in the day’!

This book accomplishes what so many others can hit or miss: it makes the complex easy to understand. If you feel intimidated by the words supply chain management, logistics, supply and demand planning, or at first feel like you know them but don’t, then look no further, this book breaks these elements down into Easy-to-digest concepts that you’ll keep remembering, understanding, and applying long after you’ve finished reading this book.

It’s a must have for students and practitioners alike.

4. Introduction to Logistics Systems Management (2nd Edition): Gianpaolo Ghiani, Gilbert Laporte, Roberto Musmanno

This logistics management book is the fully revised version of the author’s 2004 award-winning first edition, so my impression and expectation from the start are high.

As the title suggests, this book deals with methodical aspects of logistics systems management and, in particular, places particular emphasis on how logistics systems operate within an organization.

Although this logistics management book is designed for both academics and industry professionals, I would highly recommend it to students as the focus is much more academic. That said, it provides relevant and detailed case studies, up-to-date models, and logistics management techniques that are presented extremely well and will no doubt benefit everyone involved in supply chain logistics, whether they are academics or supply chain professionals. supply.

The case studies in particular help you develop your understanding of the topics covered.

5. International Logistics: Managing International Trade Operations (4th Edition): Pierre A. David

In a nutshell, international logistics involves the management and movement of materials/goods/resources in a company’s supply chain across at least one international border.

For managers particularly involved with international import and export, this is the ideal reference to get straight to the point of international logistics. It is tailored to suit both students and practitioners – it is in-depth yet concise on all aspects of international logistics and is a must for any student or practitioner learning or working in international trade.

6. The Handbook of Logistics and Distribution Management: Understanding the Supply Chain (5th Edition): Alan Rushton, Phil Croucher, Peter Baker

again, another very readable logistics management book that covers all elements of supply chain management, logistics and distribution management, as well as logistics planning.

It provides a broad framework for Planning that is clearly set out and is easy to grasp. The information is up to date with the current workings and adaptations of tool used in the supply chain.

7. business logistics: supply chain management (5th edition) l ronald h. balloon

The first and most important fact to note is that this book has accompanying software and is especially aimed at the student market.

the software supports and enhances the knowledge embedded in the text.

It’s well presented and the software is an excellent combination to provide the ‘practice’ side of Logistics Management from the comfort of your classroom. Highly recommended.
