Heinz Company of Canada, Ltd. "Andre Martin has provided the experienced as well as the novice logistician with a valuable insight into ECR. Infopartnering is not business as usual, but a unique, value-added approach to meeting customer requirements." --Joseph Andraski, Vice President, Sales & Integrated Logistics Division, Nabisco Food Group "Infopartnering will help drive the implementation of new infopartnering techniques such as continuous replenishment to better manage the distribution pipeline for greater consumer value." --Ralph Drayer, Vice President, Product Supply-Customer Development, Procter & Gamble Company

Dal risvolto di copertina interno

"Infopartnering is not business as usual, but a unique, value-added approach to meet customer requirements." ?Joseph Andraski, Vice President, Sales & Integrated Logistics Division, Nabisco Food Group Infopartnering is the wave of the future that?s already cresting over manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers. Any company that makes, distributes, or retails products will be dramatically impacted by this dynamic trend. At the heart of this new approach is a mutual commitment between retailers, wholesalers, and manufacturers to develop partnerships based on shared information and real-time communication links. Martin, a thought-leader in distribution and logistics, calls these vitally important alliances "infopartnerships." Already operating in companies such as Wal-Mart and Giant Foods, infopartnerships allow each company in the distribution pipeline to respond to their customer?s needs with a degree of speed and accuracy previously unknown in industry. Infopartnerships enable companies to achieve Efficient Consumer Response (ECR) through having precisely the right mix of product available in just the right quantity, at the proper time and location. The benefits of this groundbreaking system are numerous. Distribution systems can operate with shorter lead-times. Inventory in the supply chain pipeline can be dramatically reduced, leading to significant cost savings; estimates of inventory savings in the grocery business alone top $30 billion. Important savings are also realized in a reduced need for warehouse space and in simplifying the handling and moving of inventory. Infopartnering is designed to help companies understand how to build infopartnerships throughout the distribution pipeline. Martin provides invaluable insights based on twenty-five years of experience in the field. The book lays out the core concepts and describes the important roles of management leadership, information systems and technology, and the development of new approaches on the people side of business. Managers will see a complete implementation game plan that highlights the critical challenges of infopartnering and identifies how to avoid the most common pitfalls. In addition, first-hand advice from early pioneers is included along with practical guidelines for leveraging infopartnering as a strategic business advantage.
