Download or read book Spare Parts Inventory Management written by Phillip Slater and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overview No previous works have focused on the topic of inventory reduction and optimization to the extent that this one does. Spare Parts Inventory Management: A Complete Guide to Sparesology(tm) by Philip Slater covers the whole part's life cycle, from initial purchase to final disposal, and addresses issues throughout, including maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO). The author, Phillip Slater, was described in a recent podcast as "truly one of the leaders in the MRO information segment." Sparesology is a term coined by Slater to describe the discipline of optimizing the physical, financial, and human resource management processes of spare parts inventory management. Sparesology is much more than just inventory optimization. It involves an understanding of the complete "ecosystem," within which the spare parts inventory is managed, and seeks to ensure that all of the factors influencing this management work together to achieve an organization's goals.

The reader could develop a reputation as being a fast learner, who is independent, organized still a computer savvy. While doing my Ph.D. on the subject of Inventory Management, I had to run from post to pillar to get reference books on the Inventory Management at the front desk of any book shop. Online shopping of books on the subject matter were so dearer while the activities covered under the basic thumb rule of this topic was very indispensable for any organization or for any group of people to do any activity having some purpose to achieve. While going through the learning phase of my updating of knowledge, I felt a very hard necessity to bring upon some simple way of explaining the hardest subject, which though we do but does not know the importance and reasoning of why and what of our duties and responsibilities. Through this book, I share with you my take on “INVENTORY MANAGEMENT” is not only a cup of tea of any big Multi National Industry but also is a need for a House wife. There is nothing like Inventory is ‘GOOD’ or ‘BAD’. Keeping Inventory is a commitment for uninterrupted activity, while it can be “GOOD’ when it fulfill your work flow continuity, while it can be “BAD’, when it requires you to go “of” and work to get it rid. To express the hardcore of “INVENTORY MANAGEMENT”, ONE HAS TO ROMANCE WITH INVENTORY. So, having an INVENTORY STOCK CAN BE DIVIDED AS FOLLOWS
Download or read book Inventory Management Explained written by David J. Piasecki and published by Ops Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inventory Management isn't easy. If it were, more companies would be good at it. But being competent at managing your inventory isn't all that difficult either. Inventory Management Explained helps readers build a solid understanding of the key planning aspects of inventory management. It does this by clearly explaining what inventory management is, but then goes well beyond typical inventory management books by tearing apart the calculations and logic we use in inventory management and exposing the hidden (or not so hidden) flaws and limitations. It then builds on this by showing readers how they can use their understanding of inventory management and their specific business needs to modify these calculations or develop their own calculations to more effectively manage their inventory. The emphasis on practical solutions means readers can actually use what they've learned.For those new to inventory management, the author includes highly detailed explanations and numerous examples. Instead of archaic mathematical syntax, the author explains the calculations in plain English and uses Excel formulas and spreadsheet examples for many of them.For the experienced practitioner, the author provides insights and a level of detail they likely have not previously experienced. Overall, Inventory Management Explained does actually explain inventory management, and in doing so, exposes the good, the bad, and the ugly aspects of it. But more importantly, it leaves the readers knowing enough to be able to start making smart decisions about how they manage their inventory.
