Inventory Management in Multi-Echelon Networks presents methods to
plan inventory in distribution networks. By holistically looking at
the supply chain, it shows how safety stocks across all echelons
can be optimized if inventory of all levels is taken into
consideration. The gap between the existence of advanced inventory
planning methods and their low penetration in the industry was the
motivation for this book. Christopher Grob develops essential
algorithms that companies can use for network inventory planning
and highlights achievable implementation benefits. The work of the
author was inspired by the needs of an after sales supply chain of
a large automotive company. This company supplies customers all
over the world with spare parts and operates a distribution network
with more than 100 warehouses. This supply chain faces two
particular challenges: demand is highly uncertain and customers
expect a high service level. About the Author Christopher Grob
works in after sales supply chain management at a major German
automotive company. He is responsible for the functional
development of inventory planning systems for the spare parts
business. He is an expert in the field of inventory management.
