Book Review: Look for another book
Summary: 1 Stars
Book is full of "Buzzword Bingo" phrases. For example, velocity is defined as synthesis with speed.
The authors seem to have an axe to grind with management about facilities planning. Perhaps the saying, "Those who can't... teach!" holds true. Sorry professors, the real life situation is that a facilities planner may have his/her plans squished like a little bug occasionally to meet an ROI or even a manager's ego, get over it or find a new line of work.
Book is also full of little changes in terminology between pages and chapters for the same material that the reader can find confusing. A few errors here and there that are probably typical of any technical text and some dated photos but generally an acceptable introduction to facilities planning.
Otherwise, the book is an extremely slow read with little information that you can't find elsewhere in a nice binding. It'll look good on a shelf.
