Distribution Resource Planning
The Gateway to True Quick Response and Continual Replenishment
Andre J. Martin
Quick Response/Continual Replenishment rapidly increases the velocity with which products go from manufacturer to the final customer. But operating in a Quick Response mode requires new links between suppliers, retailers and manufacturers if they want to create a highly responsive distribution system. Distribution Resource Planning tells readers how to design, implement, and manage a distribution system based on Quick Response/Continual Replenishment concepts. The benefits are many: |
 |
• |
Increased levels of customer satisfaction through timely, accurate deliveries |
• |
Reduced inventory levels |
• |
Lower distribution costs |
• |
Productivity improvements in manufacturing |
• |
Enhanced capabilities to accurately forecast inventory levels and cash flow requirements |
• |
Lower operating costs for all pipeline customers |
Written by Andre Martin, who during the 1970s, pioneered DRP as the director of manufacturing and materials management for Abbott Canada.
