Fully grasp the core principles of logistics, distribution management, and the supply chain with this definitive guide that offers clear and straightforward explanations with up-to-date discussions of supply chain innovations.

The Handbook of Logistics and Distribution Management provides students and practitioners with a complete, step-by-step overview of the different aspects of setting up, managing, and optimising supply chains. Designed to offer a full appreciation of how supply chains are planned and operated, it is structured logically and delves into topics in more clarity and detail than disparate collections of research papers.

The eighth edition offers:

  • Practical solutions designed to meet the challenges faced by those studying and working in the sector at an academic and practitioner level.
  • New coverage of current supply chain and logistics trends including sustainable operations, digital transformation, and AI and blockchain.
  • Online resources including lecture slides (tables, images, and formulae from the text), acronyms and abbreviations, and infographics.

Integrating both strategic and tactical insights, this textbook is underpinned throughout by real-world data and worked examples and is an essential guide for topics across the wide-ranging fields of logistics and the supply chain.
