Evaluator Summary / Recommendation

This open-access article is a strong foundational resource for advanced topics in financial-physical integration in supply chain planning. It best reads with instructor-led discussion, interactive infographic add-ons, and scenario-based application questions. It is too general and strategic in focus; however, some use of segments may be acceptable with some modifications.

Final Decision
