Internal Supply Chain of the Retailer (Retail Supply Chain in the Real World Book 5)

'The Internal Supply Chain of the Retailer' is a practical guide to the inner workings and logic of a chain store retailer's distribution network. Beginning at store level, Keith Bartlett traces the decision points which contribute to the design and optimization of a retail supply chain.
This edition covers the departmental organisation of a retailer's supply chain, the ordering of stock for the warehouse and the design of the distribution centres. It covers replenishment cycles, warehouse process, automation, stock control decisions and e-commerce.
Few practitioners with real experience of this area describe the inner workings of the retailer's logistics. This book supplies a unique inside view of the retail engine supporting a modern chain store.
