Effective logistics and supply chain management is a critical concern for every business, and key to achieving a competitive advantage. Better development and management of supply chain networks will not only cut costs but enhance customer value. In today's volatile world, supply chains need to be more flexible and capable of adapting to change than ever.

Logistics & Supply Chain Management provides the core tools, processes and initiatives needed to stay one step ahead. This comprehensive book provides an integrated perspective that takes account of networks of relationships, sustainability and product design, as well as the logistics of procurement, distribution and fulfilment.

The sixth edition of this bestselling book has been completely updated: as well as additional examples and case studies throughout, there are two new chapters covering the digital supply chain and sourcing and supply management.

"This important book by one of the leading thinkers in the field is essential reading not just for practitioners and students of these subjects, but for everyone with a keen interest in how logistics activities and supply chain designs shape our everyday lives." Professor John Mangan, Chair in Marine Transport & Logistics, School of Engineering, Newcastle University, UK
