Summary: Outstanding Book for mid-level and advanced audience
Comment: This is perhaps the most comprehensive and complete book on the theory behind the innumerable inventory models. More interestingly, it is an extremely well written for a technical book and the lucid style makes readin interesting. I am using the book as reference for research and this book provides a good b/g and development of different models: both stochastic and deterministic.
However, due to the mathematically moderate to advanced treatment of the subject (calculus, probability and some linear algebra and stochastic processes would really help), the audience for this book is definitely those with some background in math and/or engineering.
This book is not for those looking for a formula to plug in values (although it does give those too), it is for those who are keen on understanding the underlying 'logic' of inventory policies and systems and how they have been developed. Anyone in Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, Management (with quantitative inclinations) and professionals will find this an extremely good book.
