What started as an internal corporate
training manual seven years ago, unexpectedly took on a life of its own. Well
beyond my expectations, the preceding second edition of this work became a
popular desk reference and university text. In light of this broader market, I
submit for your reading pleasure the new and expanded third edition of A
Practical Guide to Transportation and Logistics.
This new edition will retain the look and
feel of the previous edition (part of what made it successful), but provide a
significantly expanded and updated tool. To date, there is still no other work
like this on the market. I didn’t want to dramatically alter its focus or
approach, but I did want to address some shortcomings and information voids that
both the market and I perceived. I hope I’m successful.
A Practical Guide to Transportation and Logistics provides an overview of
the key elements of business logistics. Written in a clear and straightforward
style, this new and expanded third edition is a valuable tool for the student
and the front-line manager. A Practical Guide to Transportation and Logistics offers
the reader a basic understanding of such topics as:
• Domestic Transportation
• International Logistics
• Export/Import Procedures and Techniques
• Warehousing and Inventory Management
• Logistics Technology Issues
• Logistics Outsourcing/Third-Party Logistics
• Negotiation Strategies
Additional
features include:
• Money-saving tactics you
can implement now
• "Logistics Lore" - Real-world stories of relevant logistics issues
