Riassunto

A guide to inventory management. The author describes the basic techniques, how and when to apply them, and how to ensure that they work correctly.

The techniques are described in the context of stores operations which can be applied in a variety of situations including distribution warehousing, spares and service, manufacturing and consumable stores.
