 Book Review, 2008-05-02
This book provides a basic summary of good supply chain fundamentals. There are not many novel ideas in the book, which was a little disappointing.

 Supply Chain Management Best Practices, 2007-10-25
An easy to read book that cuts to the chase about practical supply chain matters. Thank you Mr. Blanchard for writing a book that's less about the academic theory behind it and more about how to get things done!

A well written, well documented overview, 2007-03-10
Dave Blanchard writes in a clear, concise style and supports his points with case histories that relate each point to the real world. The book is divided into three parts to create a process of its own. It leads the reader through supply chains used in different channels, discusses the core questions that must be answered in creating a system and then looks at solutions the best companies use to help meet obstacles that arise.
He has a light-hearted style (the first sub-head is, "You Knew This Job Was Dangerous When You Took It"), which keeps the book from bogging down or becoming pedantic. But the information is up to date and concisely presented.
The book is heavily annotated, offering additional resources if the reader desires, and the index allows specific points to be located quickly, so it works well as a reference guide as well as an overview. That he occasionally references his own articles makes it clear that he has a long history in the industry, offering experience and context he can bring to bear on the topic.
