  INTELLIGENT ENTERPRISE MAGAZINE is an excellent publication for those involved in Manufacturing and Distribution. This monthly publication covers ERP, E-Commerce, Business-to-Business, Consulting, Data Warehousing, Supply Chain, and XML, as well as other current topics of interest. The authors are all prominent - for example, Ralph Kimball, writing on Data Warehousing, co-invented the Star Workstation at Xerox, and founded Red Brick Systems.
 
DataBase Trends is a glossy monthly publication which has long covered the Multi-Value community, and has expanded coverage to include many other topics of interest. This was formerly News and Review.
 
 

Productivity Press offers Books and Learning Tools, plus Conferences and Workshops on Manufacturing and Supply Chain. They consult for a large number of the Fortune 500 companies and their publications list is excellent. My favorite author is Brian Maskell who is an international authority on World Class Measurement and Advanced Manufacturing Techniques. He has three books in the catalog and his newest, "Making the Numbers Count" is useful for everyone.

While their catalog is online, I am recommending having a hard copy around.
