Biography
Wally Klatch
"Supply Chain for Liquids is fun to read. Wally draws from his extensive liquid-products experience, as both practitioner and consultant, to entertain the reader with amazing stories while instructing the reader on the practicalities that maximize the financial return in a liquid-products business. Every supply chain network uses some form of liquids, and many supply chain networks are true hybrids, planning and controlling equal proportions of discrete and liquid products. Wally's point of view is so fresh that it is fair to say that this book offers something worth learning for every supply chain professional."
--William T. Walker, CFPIM, CIRM, from the Preface
