A Case for Demand-Driven Inventory Optimization
This paper argues that the use of ‘conventional’ supply chain optimization techniques cannot be applied to distribution and nventory planning decisions because the system cannot be correctly modeled using these techniques. Such techniques would provide optimal suggestions for an ‘ideal’ system which has very little to do with the real...
