Description
Optimizing supply chains in the 21st century requires more than just mathematical models. In this comprehensive guide, Nicolas Vandeput presents a new approach to inventory management, one that incorporates probabilistic simulations to optimize policies and profits. The book takes readers through various levels of complexity, from simple deterministic models to advanced multi-echelon optimization. It also provides an introduction to Python programming and explains how to apply these techniques in real-world scenarios. With its "do-it-yourself" approach and included code snippets, this book is ideal for inventory managers, demand planners, and academics seeking cost-effective solutions. By using simulations under custom discrete demand probability functions, Vandeput offers a powerful framework for optimizing multi-echelon supply chains. This practical guide provides readers with the tools to make informed decisions and improve their supply chain management strategies.
