Is there any books on this subject
- I have read the article and I was wondering if any readers had seen or heard of any books on the subject of Logistics Strategies. This is a good start but I am sure I will need more information to go to the Supply Chain Committee at our company.

Strategy Is Too Complicated
- We have a logistics strategy that is far too complicated as it incorporates all aspects of the business, including some that are not traditionally called logistics. The logistics strategy does not achieve much for our company and each department has their own strategy which is better. So in the supply chain team we have a "mission statement" which is more like a strategy as it plans out what we are aiming to do in the next year. However it needs to be updated as we did not fulfill last years commitments.

How often do you update the strategy
- We have been working with a logistics strategy that was developed back when we put out SAP system in, which was 2002. I think that the Logistics Strategy needs to be updated at least once a year. Is this too often or not enough?
