Rightsizing Inventory

Aiello is an inventory management professional and an accomplished practitioner, consultant, and educator with 45-plus years of experience in supply-chain management. He presents a practical text on managing inventory effectively and efficiently, for individuals involved in making the supply chain of their companies run smoothly and profitably. The text is structured around an imaginary mid-sized manufacturing company--a composite case study from the author's experience working with many companies in a variety of industries--for which Aiello has developed a scenario about facing the daily challenges of inventory management. Each of 12 chapters features different characters representing links in the supply chain, who present to a team leading the company's inventory "rightsizing" effort; the characters discuss their roles and responsibilities in managing inventory, their issues and problems, and how they interact with the other links.
