INVENTORY MANAGEMENT IN MULTI-ECHELON NETWORKS ...

Inventory Management in Multi-Echelon Networks presents methods to plan inventory in
distribution networks. By holistically looking at the supply chain  it shows how safety stocks
across all echelons can be optimized if inventory of all levels is taken into consideration.
The gap between the existence of advanced inventory planning methods and their low penetration
in the industry was the motivation for this book. Christopher Grob develops essential
algorithms that companies can use for network inventory planning and highlights achievable
implementation benefits. The work of the author was inspired by the needs of an after sales
supply chain of a large automotive company. This company supplies customers all over the world
with spare parts and operates a distribution network with more than 100 warehouses. This supply
chain faces two particular challenges: demand is highly uncertain and customers expect a high
service level. About the Author Christopher Grob works in after sales supply chain management
at a major German automotive company. He is responsible for the functional development of
inventory planning systems for the spare parts business. He is an expert in the field of
inventory management.
