In an effort to maximize the efficiency of the distribution function there has been a dramatic increase in the use of computer systems, but managers are often unsure which type of system will be most appropriate, or indeed, precisely what strategic goals it can help attain. This book solves that dilemma by discussing applications in use, and describing how to assess which areas would benefit from particular systems. The author demonstrates how to prepare a System Requirements Specification and gives practical advice on the planning and control of system implementation. The text includes coverage of strategic distribution planning systems, depot stock replenishment systems, warehouse management systems, interfaces with other systems and hardware selection.
