Excellence in Inventory Management

Book Information

Full Description:

Little has been written on the links between Inventory and Supply Chain Management, yet it is a critical component of all Supply Chains.
This book explores and explains these critical links, and is intended for:

• Professional managers in all supply chain roles and job positions.

• Academics such as lecturers or students studying business topics like procurement, logistics, distribution, and the supply chain.

• Students of professional institutes such as the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, The Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply.

The style of the book is direct, with little jargon. It covers all the basics, as well as providing detailed and wider discussions to encourage thought. Practical application remains a central theme, illustrated by the extensive use of case studies, application checklists and visual and graphic illustrations.
