Pitää tunnustaa oma tietämättömyyteni, mutta puhujista ainoastaan Liker on töidensä puolesta ennalta tuttu. Hines lienee Womackin ja Jonesin kavereita, käsittääkseni LEI:n brittein toimisto tekee läheistä yhteistyötä Cardiffin yliopiston kanssa. Martin Christopher on kirjoittanut ainakin kirjan Logistics & Supply Chain Management: creating value-adding networks ja tuo opus on ainakin Amazonissa saanut hyviä arvioita. Ja näyttää kyllä siltä, että olen herra Vollmaninkin teoksiin tutustunut. Ainakin Manufacturing planning and control systems for supply chain management -kirjan kansi näyttää tutulta, että ainakin se on tullut selailtua läpi. Hänen uusin kirjansa The Power of Two on sen verran uusi, että edes Amazon ei tarjoa siitä arvioita. Kukaan tutustunut?
