Operations and Supply Chain Management Essentials You Always Wanted to Know by Ashley McDonough is a valuable book for anyone interested in first learning the concepts and also for those wanting an overview as well as explanations of specific concepts. It is excellent in its use of examples. I think the book would be valuable for a junior level undergraduate class in SCM. Maybe a course that all business students should take to get a clear understanding of the concepts of the overall supply chain. The efforts to put together a relatively succinct text on OSCM is appreciated.

The book explains the concepts in a simple and very understandable manner. All concepts are explained very well and provided with very simple and relatable examples. The book is very reader friendly and the examples provided are real life examples. This book will be very useful to students and project professionals alike.
