One of the Two Top Books on RFID.......2007-04-23
I found this book one of the top two books in the field of RFID; the othe rone being RFID+ by Dr. Paul Sanghera. This book offers a comprehensive coverage of the RFID topics. But if you are a beginner, you should read Dr. Sanghera's book befroe reading this one.
Excellent book; highly recommended.
Excellent overview.......2006-11-21
I've read several RFID books and this one is excellent. Good overview, plenty of detail, well organized and well written (i.e. readable).
Review of "RFID Essentials" purchase.......2006-11-12
The book was in excellent condition, and the service was prompt!
VERY VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!.......2006-09-15
Are you a developer or systems architect or project manager? If you are, then this book is for you! Authors Bill Glover and Himanshu Bhatt, have done an outstanding job of writing a book that shows you how to get that first RFID prototype out the door.
Glover and Bhatt, begin by defining RFID and introduce some of the fundamental concepts. Then, the authors describe the parts of an RFID system, their relationships to each other, and some of the functional and service-level requirements specific to RFID.
Next, the authors describe the tags that attach an identity to an item and communicate that identity to readers. The authors then examine how tags talk to readers. They continue by describing the readers that communicate with tags and connect RFID-tagged items to the network. Then, the authors cover how readers talk to middleware and applications. They then describe the middleware that manages RFID information and edge devices. Next, they examine the storage and use of RFID information. Then, they discuss some of the specific concerns related to managing RFID devices on the edge of the network. Next, the authors discuss real concerns regarding the impact of RFID on security and privacy, as well as dispelling some of the myths. Finally, they continue by providing a look at where RFID may take you in the next few years.
This most excellent book allows you to understand the major elements in an RFID system. More importantly, it shows you how to divide work, set goals, and understand vendor proposals.

used only the cd.......2007-01-03
the software delivered on cd with this book is worth, i didn't read the book. the ERP simulator is a very good concept, the application itself however is buggy, i think they released unfinished beta version.
What is it? Pull everything and call it ERP?.......2001-03-23
I should believed Jim (another reviewer of this book). This book does not focus on ERP. Rather, it's a basic operation management book. There are only 2-3 chapters that really talk about ERP but only introduction. If you look for the introduction, "Daniel E. O'Leary" book is much more valuable (Enterprise Resource Planning Systems : Systems, Life Cycle, Electronic Commerce, and Risk). Although I am an IE, I don't think this book will be interesting other IE too. Like I said in subject, the author(s) try to pull everything, e.g., SCM, OM, and ERP and call it's an integration. The simulation game does not capture neither "fundamental" or "application". I still don't understand why APICS publish this book in the market.
Excellent guide for ERP users and providers.......2000-05-17
As an almost novice in ERP systems, I found it interesting to follow up all the chapters of this book: "ERP; tools, techniques, and applications for integrating the supplu chain". The book starts with the history of ERP and descriptions of every aspect of enterprise production systems. Chapters on backgrounds for operations management and each module of ERP systems follow this introductory part. At the end, real-world application issues and implementation problems are discussed. Examples and attached simulator (MICSS, contained in a CD-ROM) provide further demonstration of real case studies. I recommend this book to the intermediate level of ERP users of developers.
Book Description
For over a decade, there has been an increasing interest in the use of supply chain methods to improve performance across the entire business enterprise. Numerous industries have recognized the importance of efficient supply chain integration, and, as a result, supply chain management has become a standard part of business practice.
The Practice of Supply Chain Management: Where Theory and Application Converge is a must-have volume for users of supply chain management methods, supply chain management researchers, and students in supply chain management. The objective of the book is to provide an overview of this important practice-research cycle, and it is organized into three sections: Core Concepts and Practices; Emerging Supply Chain Practices; and Supply Chain in Action. The focus of the book is on supply chain practice, but supply chain practice that has been heavily influenced by supply chain research. It is this synergy between research and practice that continues to simulate new directions for research.

Leading Edge Supply Chain.......2006-03-02
After training under Hau Lee at Stanford's Global Supply Chain Management forum, I picked up a copy of this book as further reading. This is an excellent compilation of papers written by a veritable "who's who" list of leading supply chain authors such as David Simch-Levi, Hau Lee, Warren Haussman and Seungjin Whang to name just a few.
The book takes you from core concepts and emerging practices through to the state-of-the-art in supply chain design and operation including e-commerce and web-enabled collaboration and reinforces the concepts presented with case studies and examples. Highly recommended to the strategist, manager and practitioner with an already strong background in the basics of supply chain operations.

Book Description
The Wassermann Philosophy describes the simple way in which industrial enterprises can achieve considerably greater profits within a few short months. Supply Chain Management achieves a consistently more profitable and faster-reacting organization. More than 95% of the working time in the organization is expended on inventory and customer orders laid up waiting for further processing or shipping. You can imagine the profits that are devoured by the bottlenecks, together with the misplanning which they cause, and the surpluses that occur day after day in your organization. The bottlenecks have to be eliminated! How this can be done successfully is described in this book. To date this path has been followed by more than 60 companies.
Book Description
Supply chain has emerged as a major focus of business improvement efforts. Unfortunately, not all firms have taken advantage of the concept, resulting in a large gap between successful e-commerce companies and failures. E-Supply Chain explains how the progress of e-commerce is dovetailing with the final stages of the supply chain evolution, and how to take advantage of it in business.
The authors show how the convergence of supply chain and e-commerce can catalyze the forging of advanced-level networks that will dominate future markets. In the first wave, some part of virtually every business will transfer to a cyber channel of distribution. In the second wave, networks targeting specific consumers will create new alliances across the full spectrum of supply. In the third wave, advanced networks will form global "value chain constellations" that will become the norm for most future industries.

Basic Guide to E-Commerce.......2002-10-26
How to drive value to customers thru the use of e-commerce represents the central theme of the book. This text outlines how companies enable E-commerce through out their organization. Each aspect of the typical business organization, purchasing, engineering, planning and scheduling, marketing and sales are examined chapter by chapter in order to create a model for transforming the traditional business to E-Business. The authors appear to be targeting mid-level managers in medium size organizations who, from the author's perspective, are computer illiterate. Their analysis is outdated and does not represent the current state of supply chain commerce
The text was outdated even as it was published. Not only have Fortune 500 companies systems in place that the author represents as the future enhancement, but hospitals, schools and government agencies surpassed the frame of reference for this book by at least five years. E-commerce does offer opportunities to the companies that can seize right moment, product, or service that can exploit the juncture. Continued advancement in the software packages will only enhance the use of this media. But, be cautious, a company wishing to pursue e-commerce needs to establish goals and objectives and not simply use trial and error as these authors suggest.
Use this book as generic resource. The premise of the books intent still represents the current evolution of e-commerce. I believe e-business simply achieved Poirier's and Bauer's future expectations before they could publish this book
Informative.......2002-03-15
The authors touch on current supply chain issues that are quite relevant in the new e-world.
Highly Recommended!.......2002-03-04
Charles C. Poirier and Michael J. Bauer assert that the future of the American company will resemble an Internet version of the Japanese Keiretsu, interlocked firms within firms. This new value chain constellation - which shares buying, selling and customer information in real time - will offer advantages and services that no single company could ever hope to match working solo. We from getAbstract predict that this will become a necessary textbook for any CEO or CPO who wants to maximize profits via supply chain optimization.
Could be half the number of pages..........2001-10-06
I would not say the book is not good at all. But the information could be passed in very less pages. There are lots of repetitive sayings. Too many vague and generic assumptions and advises. I wouldn't consider it as a 'how-to'. At most, a very general guidance to managers. Definitively is not for the technical team in the project.
Sound Advice and Expert Guidance.......2001-05-04
I begin with a brief excerpt from the Introduction in which the authors offer some critically important definitions. "In simple terms, supply chain refers to those core business processes that create and deliver a product or service, from concept through development and manufacturing or conversion, into a market for consumption." The authors then clarify further when noting that supply chain management (SCM) involves methods, systems, and leadership which "continuously improve an organization's integrated processes for product and service design, sales forecasting, purchasing, inventory management, manufacturing or production, order management, logistics, distribution, and customer service."
These brief remarks answer the question "Within any organization, regardless of its size of nature, who should read this book?" In a word, everyone....or at least everyone with decision-making authority. Here in an uncommonly valuable single source is a wealth of information and analysis about what amounts to, in effect, the organizational equivalent of a neurological system. The authors brilliantly introduce a guiding framework both for the material which follows and for their reader's efforts to absorb and digest that material. They then explain what should be the interdependence of organizational connectivity and business strategy, examining with great care the beneficial impact of effective SCM on e-commerce initiatives. Much has been written about the opportunities which the Internet has created. The authors correctly assert that the greatest of these is the opportunity to achieve total connectivity.
Effective SCM ensures that all core business processes will maximize economies of scale in terms of any organization's strategic planning, marketing and sales, communications (especially with customers), resource allocation (especially human capital), order processing, and logistics. In Chapter 11, the authors focus on "The Need for Connectivity with Human Resources" and this material is especially well-positioned near the end of the book because all of the authors' earlier observations and suggestions really cannot have much impact unless and until an organization's most valuable assets are totally committed to SCM.
I agree with the authors that a "tsunami-like change" (ie the Internet) is overtaking global business. Sooner rather than later, all organizations will be directly or indirectly involved on a global basis...or they will washed away. What to do? "Business professionals are faced with at least three mandates" as "tsunami-like change" increasing in scope and velocity: "First, they need to make their internal constituents aware of the inevitability of the business-technology convergence and the enormous opportunity it affords the business. Second, they must be catalysts in moving their companies to the necessary external perspective so an advanced supply chain network can be constructed. Third, they have to create the forums, workshops, and pilots through which the value chain constellations can eventually be constructed." Pourier and Bauer explain how. They also explain why. True, this is a practical handbook for creating and then sustaining a "value chain constellation." But in quite significant ways, it is also a manifesto in which the authors share their heart-felt beliefs and carefully-reasoned convictions. I share their hope that those who read the book will then embrace the three mandates. The choice is theirs. If they accept the challenge, Pourier and Bauer have prepared them well to be effective leaders of Supply Chain Management.
Book Description
Fierce competition in today's global market provides a powerful motivation for developing ever more sophisticated logistics systems. This book, written for the logistics manager and researcher, presents a survey of the modern theory and application of logistics. The goal of the book is to present the state of the art in the science of logistics management. As a result, the authors have written a timely and authoritative survey of this field that many practitioners and researchers will find makes an invaluable companion to their work.
Customer Reviews:
Stay away if you want to find something practical........2005-11-20
As above. This is 5+ star theoretical book that shows the dramatic gap between the academia and the industry. I am saying this from my own experience: 20+ years in the academia and now responsible for designing optimization products for large logistic company. As one clever guy said: "academics do what is possible but not needed, practitioners do what is needed but not possible".
Rigorous overview of logistic modeling.......2001-06-17
Logistics has always been an integral part of industry and the military, and with the advent of the Internet, it has taken on major importance. This book gives a rigorous introduction to the formalism of logistics, and as such is fascinating reading for anyone interested in this area. Even individuals not into supply chain management and logistics engineering, and interested merely in the mathematics, will find this book interesting. After a short overview of logistics in the introduction, the authors discuss worst-case analysis of various algorithms for the bin-packing and traveling salesman problems. They define two performance metrics to measure the worst-case effectiveness: the absolute and asymptotic performance ratios. The First-Fit, Best-Fit, First-Fit Decreasing, and Best-Fit Decreasing heuristics are discussed in detail for the bin-packing problem. The authors show that a polynomial time heuristic cannot have an absolute performance ratio less than 3/2. They also show that finding a heuristic for the traveling salesman problem with a constant worst-case bound is as difficult as solving any NP-complete problem. The minimum spanning tree based, nearest insertion, Christofides', and local search heuristics are all discussed in great detail.
The next chapter considers the probabilistic analysis of algorithms via the characterization of the average performance of a given heuristic. The analysis is asymptotic with large problem sizes needed. Again, the bin-packing and traveling salesman problems are considered for studying this approach. This is followed by an approach to studying the efficacy of a particular heuristic by using mathematical programming in the next chapter. The strategy here is to cast the (NP-complete) problem as an integer problem, and then relax the constraint of integrality and solve the linear program. The authors showthat tight lower bounds can be found for these integer programs. The authors switch gears somewhat in the next two chapters, where vehicle routing problems are studied. In particular, the single-depot capacitated vehicle routing problem with equal and unequal demands is analyzed via worst-case and probabilistic analysis. The analysis is generalized in chapter 7 for the case where time constraints are present. An analytical solution of this problem, called the vehicle routing problem with time windows, is considered in detail by the authors. They back up their analysis with computational results at the end of the chapter. In chapter 8, a column generation approach is employed to solve the vehicle routing problem. No time constraints are put in, and the authors give in detail the steps behind this technique.
The study of inventory models is begun in chapter 9, with the economic lot size model leading off the discussion. This model illustrates effectively the tradeoffs between ordering and storage costs, and the optimal ordering policy is found. This model is generalized to the case where finite time horizons are included and the optimal policing found. Multi-item inventory models are then studied via worst-case analysis. The Wagner-Whitin model, which is an inventory model with varying demands, is formulated and solved in the next chapter. The techniques used, interestingly, involve dynamic programming. This model is generalized to the case where there is an upper bound on the amount that can be ordered or produced, and then the optimal solution found.
The case where the demand is a random variable is considered in the next chapter on stochastic inventory models. Single period and finite horizon models are considered using a dynamic programming algorithm to determine the optimal policy. The analysis makes heavy use of the properties of convex and quasiconvex functions.
Facility location models are the subject of the next chapter. The p-Median, single-source capacitated facility location (CFLP), and distribution system design problems are analyzed as warehouse location problems, with Lagrangian relaxation techniques used to find the solutions to these problems.
Logistics models that integrate inventory and routing strategies are considered in chapter 13, with the success of Wal-Mart given as an example of a firm whose success was generated by a reliance on an efficient logistical design and planning model called cross docking. Along with analyses of zero inventory ordering policies, the authors give an asymptotic analysis of cross-docking strategies.
The last two chapter of the book consider the implementation of logistic algorithms in practice. Although short, the chapters do give a fairly good overview of how these algorithms are used in the real world. The authors consider the routing and scheduling of New York City school buses and a decision support system for network configuration. Only one exercise is found in these chapters though unfortunately.
Get this book or spend a month in library.......2000-12-21
Professor Simchi-Levi dedicates his time as co-author of this book and I'd like to thank to his effort. The logic of Logistics is only "ONE' book in current academic text books that bravely delineates the theory and algorithm; while most other books spends many hundread pages for "words" and "case studies". The models are showed with algorithm and proving. Examples are included as necessary. The way to illustrate case study is different -but good different. For a researcher, consulting companies, professors, graduate students, you can spend a month in library for literature reviews or take few days to go through this book. If you think your time is worth, grasp this book and you won't be disappointed. If you want to see less mathematic issue, you may want to look at another book of Simchi-Levi. It's "Designing and Managing the Supply Chain : Concepts, Strategies, and Cases".
Highly Technical, Mathmatical textbook.......1999-09-24
Very technical with many mathmatical equations, exapmles and theorms. Includes exercises, and case study information. There are however, no answers to the exercises, and few "worked out" math problems. The format is very much a text book.

Book Description
The book presents a comprehensive picture of state of the art within Supply Chain Management. It has a strategic focus and advocates a contingency approach to supply chain integration. Supply Chain Management has a theoretical foundation in transaction cost theory and the network approach. A major part of the book is devoted to the implications of new concepts such as Customer Relationship Management, Supplier Relationship Management, Vendor-managed Inventory, Efficient Consumer Response, and Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment. A number of cases are illustrating the theoretical discussions. It has a European perspective, both in terms of examples and themes.
The book can be used in teaching logistics and supply chain management courses, but also by logistics managers and SCM professionals when implementing the SCM concept in their own organisations.
Book Description
The complexity of distribution systems is augmented by various trends: globalization of the manufacturing industry, rising customer demands, and the reverse flows within closed-loop systems. In this light, the need for ‘advanced’ planning methods that are based on quantitative optimization is constantly increasing. This book takes up the challenges posed by these developments. In doing so, it presents recent results and case studies from a group of researchers that regularly meet at the IWDL (International Workshop on Distribution Logistics). The text covers the design of distribution networks, vehicle routing, warehousing and reverse logistics. It also contains a comprehensive review of more than 60 case studies in reverse logistics.

Book Description
Standards play crucial roles in many different aspects of today’s economy. They can define meanings of semantics, product interfaces, process steps, or performance levels. Interorganisational standards are specifications that define business-related semantics and processes, which are made accessible to other organisations’ information systems. While modular organisation forms such as supply chain networks demand such standards for higher flexibility, XML-based Web Services offer a relatively new technological platform to develop such standards. The development of comprehensive interorganisational standards, however, is far from being completed. This book thus answers the questions, how interorganisational standards are developed and how different actors should get involved in it. The author uses actor-network theory to conduct two in-depth case studies on ebXML and RosettaNet. While researchers will find new explanations for the development of interorganisational standards, managers and executives will benefit from the strategic implications this book discusses.
