Inventory Management Volume 2 e-bog

Inventory Management Vol. 2 updates some topics in Pete Kornafel's Inventory Management and Purchasing book published in 2004. The original book is still in print, and much of it is still "e;best practice"e; for forecasting and purchasing inventory for hard goods distributors. This Vol. 2 book includes new material on SKU level forecasting with the addition of external data, a big new section on store assortment planning, some "e;best practice"e; techniques for managing special situations such as multiple sources, hub-spoke store networks, promotions, category management and supply chain collaboration. All the content is of my own design with what I feel is "e;best practice"e; in each of these areas. And this Vol. 2 has some observations about the future of the automotive aftermarket in the U.S. This includes the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in the (hopefully) short term, and some longer-term factors that will, over time, profoundly change the aftermarket.
