Recommended Reading

With the help of some colleagues I have compiled a list of recommended books for those interested in all things Supply Chain. I will be adding to these as time goes by, and I will link in any reviews. I realise even as I type this that there are a lot more books on my shelf that should be on the list.

If anyone has any further suggestions I would be happy to hear from your (simply leave a comment using the form at the bottom of the page).

You might also like to check out John Bicheno’s Top 100 Lean Books which is a pdf you can download from the LERC website. Not all the books listed major on Lean, and some have no specific Lean content at all. John has given a star rating to each, and a few words on the content.
