whitepaper Optimization and Markdown Management: Exploring Best Practices to Drive Better Decisions2005-11-29 01:00:03
  In today's complex retail environment, managers are faced with thousands of daily decisions - and they must rely on a myriad of processes and conflicting data to make those decisions. Some of these decisions are small and routine, but they are so frequent that they can add up to significant financial consequences. Other decisions are occasional, but the choices made can have even greater financial impact. No one would dispute that managers making these decisions should base their choices on factual information. But there are significant challenges in acquiring relevant factual data and understanding how that information bears on the decisions at hand.

whitepaper If the Inventory Manager Knew: Value of RFID Under Imperfect Inventory Information2006-01-11 01:01:43
  The goal of this paper is to explicitly model how different demand streams could lead to inventory shrinkage, and consequently, inventory discrepancies. The paper then shows how close-to-optimal inventory control can be designed in the presence of unobserved inventory discrepancies in real time, using only statistical estimates, such as their distributions, of the demand streams. The model can then be used to assess the value of having visibility of inventory discrepancies, as well as the elimination or reduction of some of the causes of inventory discrepancies. The model can thus be a step towards concretely measuring the values brought forth by technologies such as RFID.

whitepaper How Improving Warehouse Productivity and Inventory Accuracy Can Help Boost ROI and Customer Satisfaction2004-12-01 Intuit
  In the wholesale distribution business, the warehouse is where the action is. It's a place where hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of inventory remains in constant motion - from the moment an item arrives, gets put away, picked, packed and staged to the moment it's loaded onto a truck. And as a result, your ability to keep track of the entire process can make or break the success of your entire business - because errors in the warehouse can both slow your operations and undermine customer satisfaction.
