Other Notes
An Introduction to Logistics and the Supply Chain
Oft times I have found that students come into a course that assumes they have knowledge of logistics and the supply chain, but, in fact, lack that knowledge.
This note helps to provide a bridge to those students and improve their chances of successfully completing the course.
