As far as context it was an easy read, and had follow-through real world examples and applicable problems. However, it needs a good bit of editing. I found mistakes in every chapter. It was especially infuriating to find problems that didn't tie. And then there is the problem of their companion website. It's not very user friendly and the excel sheets would be more helpful if they were titled appropriately and applied to the problems in the book better.

Good for a text book, just not personally that interested in supply chain management.
