Résumé

The new inventory manager's best friend: a no-nonsense, how-to-get-it-done-right guide.

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 management of natural, technological, and incited emergencies. In all, it's the most thorough introduction available to the inventory management profession.

Contents

Inventory as Both a Tangible an Intangible Object
Inventory As Money
Physical Location and Control of Inventory
The Basics of Bar Coding
Planning and Replenishment Concepts
Why Inventory Systems Fail and How To Fix Them
Protecting Inventory
