A second edition of Jon Schreibfeder's book Achieving Effective Inventory Management is available from the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors (NAW) through the web site www.nawpubs.org. Containing an additional 70 pages as well as a spreadsheet, the publication discusses how to:

  • Organize a warehouse to reduce order-processing costs.

  • Minimize losses caused by shrinkage and obsolescence.

  • Improve demand forecasting.

  • Analyze inventory to find new profit opportunities.

  • Develop dynamic safety stock allocations.

Also part of this version is a computer disk containing an “Inventory Analyzer,” which produces reports on the current state of the user's inventory.

The author has prepared 12 Excel spreadsheets on floppy disk. These spreadsheets, using data downloads from the distributor's company computer, can be used to provide information on several inventory situations.
