Lean Six Sigma Logistics: Strategic Development to Operational Success
$49.95
I am not a logistician, but when it comes down to it, much of the challenge in any business is the supply chain. The book is pretty basic, but for someone with my background was easy to digest, and certainly got me thinking about the implications of Lean (in particular) on the supply chain.

A good entry level text also if you are in logistics, but new to six sigma. I would recommend it be used in conjunction with one of the comprehensive LSS intro books (like Lean Six Sigma by Michael George).

Integrated Logistics Support Handbook (McGraw-Hill Logistics Series)
$89.95
The military has pioneered the concepts of logistics -- indeed napoleon was responsible for the development of canning foodstuffs to provide for his armies. As the military has gotten more complex but must still provide for everything their soldiers need, the military's development of what's now called ILS (Integrated Logistics Support) has gotten more developed. Beyond the military, various commercial ventures must also provide for logistics support. When your automobile has a problem you expect the dealer to have parts. These types of companies have developed commercial systems that are based on those of the military.

This book, now in its third edition, is based on MIL HDBK 502, Acquisition Logistics and MIL-PRF-49506 Logistics Management Information. Basically it takes the military documents and makes sense out of them for people who must implement ILS systems. The third edition updates the information on the available software-based systems, commercial off the shelf solutions and the latest DoD requirements.

Here in one volume is basically a complete introduction to ILS. It's not a small book, over 500 pages and pretty small type for older eyes like mine.
