If You're Clueless About Financial Planning and Want to Know More (If You're Clueless)

Book Description

Focusing on the lean supply chain from an operations perspective, this insightful book offers a thorough overview, covering the activities of all the companies involved in the flow of products, services, finances, and information - from the initial suppliers to the ultimate users. It provides candid discussions of managers' tasks and responsibilities and how they may be best accomplished through the use of such conceptual tools as lean thinking, theory of constraints, and the balanced scorecard. The book uniquely integrates the discussion of theory of constraints with the lean supply chain, illustrating how both champion the use of pull to create the flow of goods and services through the value chain while emphasizing that lean is indeed a growth strategy.

Good book.......2007-03-08

This book is concise in dealing with the basics and the advanced materials in the subject. Author's language is discernible even for those who are not familiar with this concept.

Crack the Bullwhip!.......2006-05-02

I am the Corporate Lean Champion for a global manufacturing company. I had heard of the bullwhip effect but did not thoroughly understand it before reading "the book" as I refer to it when recommending it to my Lean students. Streamlined helped me to put a plan together utilizing rate based planning, Lean variation reduction tools, and pull protocols to Crack the Bullwhip effect and drive it out of our organization!

Streamlined is a "must read" for any Lean practitioner, operations Leader, supply chain leader ot MBA student.

An Excellent Guide.......2006-01-08

I actually got the opportunity to study under Srini and can verify his expertise in this field. I picked up more than a few great ideas in this book that I hadn't seen in the many books I have read on the subject. I would recommend this book to students, managers, and specialist at all experience levels.

Excellent textbook for an advanced undergarduate course as well as MBA courses.......2005-06-28

I have adopted "streamlined" for an advanced topics in management course on lean supply chains. The challenge of finding a book that goes beyond the abstract concepts to more detailed and parctical steps for implementation has been greatly alleviated by "streamlined." Dr. Srinivasan provides the reader and the student in particular with a very well thought out and written text. My students' initial worries about the rigor and difficulty of the subject matter were quickly mitigated after reading the first few chapters.
The 14 principles provided me, the professor, an organizing framework for the delivery of the course, the assignments and the term project. The students and myself found "streamlined" to be very interesting, thought proviking, and useful.
This book is a must-read for any faculty member regardless of their discipline as the topics covered cut across all functional areas of business and provide a much-needed integrative approach.

Very thorough read.......2005-02-05

This book covers the concepts around supply chain optimization in depth. In our company we are using these techniques to improve the lead time in our global manufacturing supply chain.

The Only Reason I'm Passing Chemistry.........2007-10-08

This books picks up where my poorly written/edited text leaves off. In clear, concise language this book explains concepts that I always assumed were over my head. It's really easy to find any concept you need help with too. Because of this book, I can actually accomplish a feat I've attempted many times over the years -- pass Chemistry in order to start nursing school. Believe it or not, I am getting an A so far.

This book is tremendous and I've recommended it to so many people in my Chem class. You will not regret this purchase.

Excellent and easier to follow than most chemistry books.......2006-09-15

I really LOVE this book for introductory/first-year chemistry. It really explains things well and gives you a good mix of reading and exercises. (The exercises and reading are spaced closer together, not big blocks of reading followed by big blocks of exercises that you see too commonly in other study guides.) This makes it so much easier to reinforce your learning, as well as the writing style which is very clear. There are plenty of exercises to apply what you learn, and there is just enough reinforcement in concepts as you progress through the book without being repetitive.

Chemistry is not an easy subject to learn, and there is no "magic" book out there that will "download" its information directly to your brain--you will always have to apply yourself. But this book makes it SO much less frustrating. It is a good supplement to your school textbook, but you could learn a good deal without other sources (but I don't recommend this if you are taking a class-buy this as well as the required textbook, and go the the lectures.)

Never received the book. Thanks Katrina!.......2005-09-26

I'm sure this book would rate at least 4 stars based on the other CliffsStudySolver books I own. The order was "undeliverable" and was returned to Amazon because my area was one that got hit hard by hurricane Katrina . Much to my surprise not only did Amazon refund the price of the book, but they also refunded all shipping costs including handling fees without me sending any emails or making any phone calls or having to argue with stupid sales reps in other parts of the country who refuse to have a clue as to what people in this area have been through. Talk about service! Thanks very much to Amazon for being so understanding about our situation here in south eastern Louisiana. Amazon has been more understanding than a lot of large local business entities in my area. I will always continue to do business with Amazon.com without hesitation whatsoever.

Chemistry Cliff notes.......2005-09-23

THe book was in great condition and arrived well before the anticipated date. Very satisfied.

Book Description

Parametrized Relativistic Quantum Theory presents the development of a new theory for describing relativistic quantum phenomena. The theoretical formalism is supplemented by numerous applications in classical and quantum theory, particle and nuclear physics, cosmology, and statistical physics. The theory handles the broad class of problems solved by conventional relativistic quantum theory, and contains fertile research areas for both experimentalists and theorists. Numerous comparisons between theory and experiment are provided, and several predictions are made.
The book will interest graduate students, academicians and researchers in quantum mechanics, field theory, nuclear and particle physics, relativity and cosmology, statistical physics, classical mechanics, probability theory and statistics, and the foundations and philosophy of physics.

Every year, as the leaves start turning gold and the night air gets chilly, children all over the world begin dreaming of the Great Pumpkin... Well, at least one faithful child does. Poor Linus. While Charlie Brown, Lucy, Snoopy, and the gang make preparations for trick-or-treating and Halloween parties, this stalwart believer risks their ridicule to write his annual letter to the mystical orange orb, in hopes that this year he'll be able to catch sight of his hero as he rises from the most sincere pumpkin patch around to fly through the air with his bag of toys for all the children.

For over 35 years, children have eagerly anticipated Halloween, not just for the tricks and treats, but because they know their favorite television special will be aired. It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is based on this TV program, so now fans can enjoy the Halloween antics of the Peanuts gang any time. (Ages 5 to 8) --Emilie Coulter

Book Description

First aired in 1966, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown has become a staple of Halloween and one of the most beloved holiday specials in history. This charming full color abridgement of the classic animated story features a hangtag with a custom charm and all the lovable antics of Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the rest of the Peanuts Gang.

Too small, too expensive!.......2007-10-09

As a teacher, I was actually hoping this would be a book I could read to my students! It's so tiny - - I guess I didn't research enough before ordering. Now it will become a Halloween prize for one of my students I guess.

Little book.......2007-08-07

This book is very small, but hardcover. My kids enjoyed the story anyway and got them to read it without a fight because it was so little. Still had 30 pages though, I believe. Anyway, cute little book - just get it when it's on sale for $1 like I did.

Really cute package-topper.......2007-01-05

This is a cute, miniature book. I loved it, but it was too small for the kids I bought it for.

IT's the Great Pumpkin,Charlie Brown.......2003-11-05

It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown by Charles M. Schulz
Published by Little Simon

Charlie Brown and his friends were going trick or treating and Linus and Sally were not going with her friends because she wanted to see the Great Pumpkin. Charlie Brown and Snoopy are similar to me because i like to go off and do things by my self like they seem to do. Lucy is always in her own snobby world

This book is not a page turner but it does skip back and fourth through the scenes. I always wanted to keep reading. Yes this book is funny and the best chartered is Snoopy because he was driving the Red Baron and he is winning the war. I also liked it when they were at the party and they were bobbing for apples. I really liked this book because it is Charlie Brown and he is the bomb.[cool] I really recommend this book because it is really funny and you should read it.

Essentially the Same........2002-10-16

Even though this 35th Anniversary Edition is illustrated by someone else, it's essentially the same story book that appeared years ago. True, the story has been trimmed down some. But most of the elements are still there: Linus' desperate hoping, Charlie Brown's holey costume, Lucy putting her brother to bed. The illustration look almost identical to the drawings of the beloved Schulz and if it weren't for the fact that Paige Braddock's name appears on the title page, one wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Besides, this is a great Peanuts's story and one of the best Halloween stories around.

Compliments the Classic!.......2006-12-01

My wife talked me into this one. Love "Peanuts" and certainly "The Great Pumpkin", just not into reading books about them. Well, I take that back, I enjoyed "Good Grief", the biography on Charles Schulz, as well as a treasury of his works. Anyway, finally sat down to read this one over the holidays, and I was glad she talked me into it. They broke the mould with Schulz, and this was a nice trip down memory lane.

As good as the Christmas one.......2006-09-30

If you own the Christmas edition one then the Great Pumpkin one is in the same format. It has interesting facts, two piano score pages,and the colored story of it. It is worth your money and is good for any Peanuts fans collection.
