This new edition focuses on three crucial areas of retail supply chain
management: (1) empirical studies of retail supply chain practices,
(2) assortment and inventory planning and (3) integrating price
optimization into retail supply chain decisions. The book has been
fully updated, expanding on the distinguishing features of the
original, while offering three new chapters on recent topics which
reflect areas of great interest and relevance to the academic and
professional communities alike - inventory management in the presence
of data inaccuracies, retail workforce management, and fast fashion
retail strategies. The innovations, lessons for practice, and new
technological solutions for managing retail supply chains are
important not just in retailing, but offer crucial insights and
strategies for the ultimate effective management of supply chains in
other industries as well. The retail industry has emerged as a
fascinating choice for researchers in the field of supply chain
management. It presents a vast array of stimulating challenges that
have long provided the context of much of the research in the area of
operations research and inventory management. However, in recent
years, advances in computing capabilities and information
technologies, hyper-competition in the retail industry, emergence of
multiple retail formats and distribution channels, an ever increasing
trend towards a globally dispersed retail network, and a better
understanding of the importance of collaboration in the extended
supply chain have led to a surge in academic research on topics in
retail supply chain management. Many supply chain innovations (e.g.,
vendor managed inventory) were first conceived and successfully
validated in this industry, and have since been adopted in others.
Conversely, many retailers have been quick to adopt cutting edge
practices that first originated in other industries. Retail Supply
Chain Management: Quantitative Models and Empirical Studies, 2nd Ed.
is an attempt to summarize the state of the art in this research, as
well as offer a perspective on what new applications may lie ahead.
