How We Rank Logistics Books
First, we collect the name of the books that appear on Amazon.com. Then, we use these criteria to rank the books on logistics,
- Practicality: we check if each book is practical enough for our readers like "beginners", "college students" and "analysts".
- Relevancy: we look closely at how the books on logistics can provide basic concepts and strategies of the "Integrated Logistics Functions", namely, customer service, purchasing, production planning, warehousing, and transportation in a clear and concise manner.
- Difficulty: we try to shy away from the math-heavy books on logistics as much as possible. Because, from our own experience, math like linear programming or optimization doesn't work the way people think they are.
- Author Credentials: we check the knowledge and experience of the author of each book to ensure that they are the experts in this field.
- Editorial Decision: we carefully review each book and the final 5 are selected based on the editorial opinion.
Finally, we rank the books on logistics based on the total score.
