[Adam · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good content, terribly campy story line. Similar to The Goal. Easy skim.

[Tom Manning · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good overview. Easy to read and understand but painfully short on detail.

[Manan Saxena]

Supposed to be a technical book on S&OP, but written in a great storyline fashion. Hits two birds.

[John]

Maybe there will be some great twist, horrible unknown creature, or riviting story line that might make this interesting. Maybe the moon is made of cheese. More to come as I read this book.

An excellent book that details the why and how of Sales and Operations Planning.
