Introduction to Materials Management (7th Edition) 7th Edition

The book is hard to follow at times but there are good details and great case studies at the end of each chapter to help practice the tools and concepts that are taught. It's been instrumental in my learning about materials management.

Excellent book on the subject. This was my go-to for both my CPIM and my CSCP cert.'s. Covers all of the primary concepts well and good details, end-of-chapter problems, and case studies.

So far I'm very impressed with this book. Have been meaning to purchase it for a while, but just wasn't sure of the price tag. If I were in University classes I'd have to make the purchase, but I'm studying on my own for the CPIM. That made me a little bit on the side of if I don't have time to read it then it's a big waste of money. So far it's a very informative read. My experience is in logistics and supply chain and have worked in other countries besides the US, so having a plain English book detailing terminology has filled in some blanks.My only gripe about this book is that it's the Kindle version, yet it doesn't adjust font size like most kindle books. So you are left with pinching or spreading to adjust the size of each page. Other features such as dictionary pop up and highlight, etc all work fine. Just wish that I could adjust the font size so I could read it more easily on my 8" tablet in portrait mode. Using it landscape mode the letters are more easily read, but for me the half page view is just a little annoying. For $90+ this book should have better ability for font adjustments.From the other reviewer, I haven't come across what they were saying. I flipped through the book a great deal trying to find it but can't seem to. Hopefully it just has to do with the reader you use because so far mine all seem to work fine with Kindle books.

Book looked like it was bulled right off the bookshelf. Very clean and crisp pages.

Came really marked up but not in a distracting way. Decent condition. Ordered this book for my class.

This is a great book. I received it when it was promised just in time for school and it was in great condition. I would recommend this book to any one who needs to take an Materials Management course.

Excellent book for those who want to get the basics of Supply chain. I highly recommend this book.It is very helpfull for me

Very complete book! It is at a beginner level, but you will understand the fundamentals of materials/production management!
