Summary: More juice than meat
Comment: While I like the "Systems Engineering and Analysis" of Blanchard, I'm not happy with "Logistic Eng and Mgt". This book aims toward the junior students, rather than the graduate level. While this book has long been published (up to 4th Ed. in my hand), only slightly improvement were made. Each chapter will guide you to the "introduction" of "what it is", not even the comprehensive definition nor foundation of Logistics system. If you are looking for the purely mathematic book, you will be very disappoint. If you look for the basic "engineer (as the title said)", you will not need this book. If you, however, look for a night time story book, you may like this one.

Summary: Logistics Engineering and Management
Comment: I have used this text in practice and in courses for a number of years. It is a very sound reference and it is easy to comprehend. Prof Blanchard's approach is excellent: based upon systems concepts and a lifecycle orientation. The content is very organized and methodical. The strengths are the system engineering process, the supportability analysis, and the bibliography. A very disciplined method for the system engineering process is presented. The elaboration on functional analysis and allocation is superb. All of the tools presented under the supportability analysis are relevant and very usable. In particular the emphasis and examples of life cycle cost analysis are excellent. The appendices provide practical and up to date data and information for the practicing logistician. Excellent reference for preparation for the Certified Professional Logistician examination.
Rating: 3
Summary: Repetitive, Repetitive, Repetitive
Comment: As a graduate logistics management student, I found this book very monotonous to read. Every three paragraphs reiterated what Dr. Blanchard stated three paragraphs previous. The concepts are great, and he leans heavily toward military applications. There are, however, some uniquenesses that military applications have that civilian industry does not.
As a professional military logistician, a good deal of the book was a restatement of the obvious. However, to a civilian graduate student with little logistics experience, this book would be very tough to swallow.
Three stars is probably generous.
