## Customer Reviews

### ⭐ Lean Distribution? Fat chance ... of finishing the book
*by R***N on 4 November 2007*

I'm sure that Kirk Zylstra has plenty of insights to share, but unfortunately not with the readers of this book. Some truly awful writing obscures his message and, after half an hour of chopping through the unstructured, jargon-ridden prose; lucky-dip punctuation, and lazy word choice I was sufficiently irritated to write this review.Some examples from page 89 (which is as far as I got before I started to lose it, but you could drop the book and find examples on any upturned page):"The demand pattern for a specific business may or may not be contiguous; this depends as much on relative volume as any other factor: low sales items would statistically have a more disjoint pattern".Is this a sentence? How about some full stops? What is that colon adding? The biggest predictor of demand contiguity is the length of the unit of time: demand measured in months is more likely to be contiguous than demand measured in seconds. What does "statistically" mean? Low sales items have a more disjoint[ed] pattern; or even we expect that Low sales items have a more disjoint[ed] pattern."And cost of capital may be an established financial principle, but when applied to the trade-off of inventory for an individual stock keeping unit (SKU), it may be a stretch".I think this means that we shouldn't use the cost of capital to make decisions about replenishment quantities, but I'm guessing. Why use "may" twice? Is the statement conditional? If so, on what?Have Wiley stopped editing their technical authors?I wonder if this is one of those books that you're supposed to display on your office bookshelf, like badges on a boy scout's sleeve?I certainly regret buying it.
