Textbooks For Logistics and Supply Chain Courses

MSSC offers two new Industry 4.0 textbooks that are aligned with MSSC standards for becoming a Certified Logistics Associate (CLA) and a Certified Logistics Technician (CLT).  However, these books should be viewed as primers for their respective levels. One of their purposes is to generate interest and further education in this field so technicians will continuously enhance their knowledge and improve the performance of their companies.

CLA: Supply Chain Logistics (Foundational Knowledge) Industry 4.0 Edition

This text instructs students on the foundational knowledge they must have to be competent in the critical work activities common across all facilities within the supply chain: safety, quality control, communications, teamwork, good workplace conduct and familiarity with the key computer systems that underpin supply chain operations.

CLT: Supply Chain Logistics (Mid-level Technical Knowledge) Industry 4.0 Edition

This text describes a higher level of knowledge needed by front-line technicians through front-line supervisors and traces the flow of a product from the time it enters a logistics facility through its processing, storage and shipment until it is transported to a final destination.  

The PDF version of both textbooks is available to instructors and to students enrolled in the courses described above. Hard copies are sold separately for an additional fee. Contact us to learn more.
