This book focuses on three interlinked processes -- demand planning, sales and operations planning, and inventory and supply planning -- which can either help a company to achieve its balance between efficiency and responsiveness or, if executed poorly, cause any number of problems. It also explains how analytical tools and methods can be used to make better supply chain planning decisions."--from Abstract ER -
