Book Description

improve their customer service, cash flow and profitability. 'Best Practice in
Inventory Management' outlines the basic techniques, how and where to apply
them, and provides advice to ensure they work to produce the desired effect in

The book shows how inventory management techniques can be used
in a wide variety of situations, particularly in stores where the inventory can
be anything from fast moving products to slow moving spares. The discussion
extends across distribution warehousing and manufacturers'
operations.
