Materials Management: An Executive's Supply Chain Guide

"This is a comprehensive look into the total materials management of a manufacturing operation. This book puts professionalism into materials management. Most manufacturing disciplines are backed by engineering, finance, or business degrees, but very little is geared toward the materials management field. This book helps to rectify that shortcoming."—Michael D. Sanna, Thirty Plus Years in manufacturing management

"This publication is an excellent depiction of how material flow should be managed in a perfect operating environment. The book’s format is written in an easy-to-read and –follow format that allows the reader to visualize the process flow smoothly. The examples are clear in ‘what if’ format and show what happens to the supply chain if a process is not performed properly, resulting in disruptions in production. It is clear that all disciplines must be followed throughout the supply chain process to properly execute accurate planning and inventory while still allowing the productive side enough material to run lean and efficiently. This periodical explains how to do just that."—Chuck Hineman, Transportation and Packaging Manager, Behr America Inc.
