Distribution Panning and Control

Second Edition
David Frederick Ross, Ph.D., CFPIM

This second edition provides manufacturers, distributors, and retailers with an updated approach for implementing effective distribution and planning control systems in the 21st century. Following the central core of the first edition, the book uses a business model that views the various functions of the enterprise, from top management planning to detailed inventory management, warehousing, and customer management, as a single, integrated, customer-satisfying entity. Based on this model, the author demonstrates how the tremendous opportunities posed by the advent of new factors such as the Internet, collaborative channel synchronization, and the concept and practice of supply chain management have dramatically altered and broadened the science of distribution and logistics.

Sales Forecasting
A New Approach

Thomas F. Wallace and Robert A. Stahl

A companion book to Sales and Operations Planning, this book represents a new-some may say radical-approach to forecasting. The authors explain how forecasting less, not more, can yield better customer service and more inventory turns. They emphasize that teamwork, good communications, and clear accountabilities are more important than complex statistical forecasting models. They demonstrate how forecasting is a process and as such can be improved using standard techniques for process improvement. This book supports the belief that it's more beneficial to pursue process improvement than to focus narrowly on forecast accuracy.
