Demand-Driven Inventory Optimization and Replenishment (Wiley and SAS Business Series) Hardcover – January 8, 2016

I found this book to be a great introduction to the field of demand-driven inventory optimization (IO) which provided historical context, the business rationale and value propositions associated with IO, guidance for operational deployment, methodology for establishing proof-of-value in the selection of an IO solution, and the expected timing of the financial benefits associated with IO. I recommend this book to anyone interested in knowing how to improve supply chain effectiveness.

Good basic understanding of inventory challenges. Poor on mathematical analysis of inventory analysis. Author obviously does not cater to operations research methods.

The discussion is detailed enough to understand the core issues and well illustrated with examples. Some areas could be more summarised, bur overall a very good book on Inventory Optimisation

I am the General Manager of a retail company. I'm an MBA graduate with 7 years in investment banking. I wanted a book to help me optimize my company's inventory. However, I was very dissapointed with this book. I learned pretty much nothing and cannot imagine who would. I have bought and read around 10 business books published by Wiley and have had good experiences until now.

Written by professionals for professionals...

In a space where the math has been roughly the same for decades, and solution analysts are akin to political lobbyists, it's refreshing to find a book that explores the domain from a business process application standpoint. I found the book a good read of the wisdom's and life lessons of a practitioner in the field. A valuable resource.

The book is excellent either as a starter or those with experience. I've been in supply chain for over 25 years and found the attention to detail and illustration of best practices to be compelling and real life - written by a seasoned practitioner.
