Most inventory professionals would gladly trade all the "latest thinking" books
for a guide they could use to do their jobs better right now. Essentials of
Inventory Management! presents ready-to-use information in key areas from
physical control and layout to problem identification and resolution.
Concentrating on daily-use inventory concepts, this practical workplace
companion specifically addresses:
* Forecasting and replenishment strategies * Differences between
finished-goods (retail) inventories and materials or work-in-process
(manufacturing) inventories. * Materials requirements planning (MRP) and
just-in-time (JIT) inventory systems * Managing inventory as both a physical
object and a monetary value * Applying simple formulas to calculating quantities
* Analyzing and remedying dysfunction
Plus, the book covers theft prevention, legal obligations, and the managment
of natural, technological, and incited emergencies. In all, it's the most
thorough introduction available to the inventory management profession.
