Editorial Reviews

A textbook for a course the graduate or undergraduate level, and a resource for practicing professions. Approaches the procurement, flow, transportation, warehousing, and distribution of material from a systems perspective that can be applied in commercial or military contexts and to nearly any category of system, including communications, chemical processing, and electrical power distribution. Includes considerable more material than the previous editions, 1974-1992 to emphasize systems and expand coverage of the life cycle to include system retirement and material disposal.
