Best books to learn Supply chain management, in order
Supply chains only make sense as a whole system, so read your way across it: the flow of goods and information, then procurement, inventory, and logistics, then the operations strategy and resilience that hold under stress. A staged sequence shows how a decision in one node ripples through the rest, turning a list of functions into an integrated view of how products actually reach customers, and why they sometimes don't.
