"Designing and Managing the Supply Chain" by Simchi-Levi. My copy is almost 20 years old but still covers all the fundamentals and most of the necessary details of how supply chains work.
"Logistics Engineering and Management" by Blanchard. The Integrated Logistics Support bible, of you go by some people. Also, the engineering and product development companion to the first book. It covers how good products are designed that can be builf, sourced, maintained and supported throughout their lifetime. Despite the title, actual logistics are not covered. A must for everyone involved in the development of non-consumer goods hardware with life times above 3 years. And also agreat resource for those consumer products. If you always wondered why defense contract are as expensive as they are and are usually signed for a couple of decades, this book gives you the theoretical basis for one part of the answer.
