Inventory management involves a lot more than just counting what you’ve got. Now in a thoroughly updated and expanded second edition, Essentials of Inventory Management covers topics such as:

Forecasting and replenishment strategies • Differences between retail and manufacturing inventories • Materials requirements planning and just-in-time inventory systems • Simple formulas for calculating quantities and schedules • Management of inventory as a physical reality and a database object • Supply chain risk management.

Perfect for novice and veteran managers alike, this ultra-practical book provides you with the up-to-date and ready-to-use information you need to maximize productivity in key areas from physical control and layout to problem identification and resolution.

Complete with detailed examples, handy tools, and a revised and expanded chapter analyzing “Why Inventory Systems Fail and How to Fix Them,” the book familiarizes you with hard-core, timeless stock-keeping fundamentals that will allow you to keep your operation running smoothly and efficiently. Addressing all items both in their tangible form (“shelf count”) and intangible forms (“record count” and monetary worth), the book arms you with down-to-earth information on automated inventory identification systems, methods for analyzing and remedying dysfunctions, and the nature and scope of possible conflicts created by reducing “waste” within a supply chain.

Along with detailed explanations of multiple cycle counting methodologies and financial statement insights for the nonfinancial manager, the book provides and explains the basic formulas that will allow you to compute breakeven points, profit margins, markups and markdowns, as well as selling price and margin percentages. You’ll learn how to employ basic problem-solving techniques toward issue resolution, control the physical location of inventory in a more efficient manner, select the cycle counting inventory method that is right for you, and appreciate the fundamental differences between finished goods inventories in the retail/distribution sectors and raw materials and work-in-process inventories found in the manufacturing environment.

Getting past the theory and into the daily, practical techniques and strategies that will enable you to do a better job managing your inventory, Essentials of Inventory Management remains the go-to guide for all inventory management professionals.

With his landmark book The ROI of Human Capital, Jac Fitz-enz delivered a powerful methodology for pinpointing the bottom-line contributions of employees. The book helped transform human resources, turning a field considered soft and vulnerable into a business-focused operation that delivered quantifiable results.

Now Fitz-enz uncovers the most exciting and promising development in HR today: actually predicting the monetary value of future human capital investments through analytics. This is a new and vastly improved way of mapping out organizational needs, particularly in the wake of layoffs and economic turmoil, as organizations recover and rebuild for the future.

The New HR Analytics supplies the principles, practices, and worksheets you need to thoroughly grasp and apply HCM:21®, the author’s four-phase predictive management model. Original research conducted by 30 HR practitioners and global thought leaders details their experiences translating human capital analytics into action. The book:

• Makes a passionate case for why HR needs to embrace analytics to keep pace with how the shifting market and internal factors affect human capital management

• Promotes a new workplace planning model focused on generating human capability through employee engagement and paying for performance

• Explains how to turn HR service delivery into a value-generating process by analyzing staffing, development, and turnover through the lens of a cost-effective input-throughput-output model

• Provides an in-depth approach to performance measurement and reporting—one that links strategic, operational, and leading indicators to apply metrics and analytics in a more meaningful way

The book’s numerous real-world examples show you exactly how the predictive management model has been put to work, including how:

• Ingram Book Group used analytics to combat an ongoing turnover and productivity problem

• Enterprise partnered with Monster to use market and demographic information for selecting a call-center site

• UnitedHealth Group drew on analytics and technology to solve its staffing and retention problems

Analytics, explains Fitz-enz, is not just a set of statistical tools. It is a mental framework, a quantum leap in human capital management. It is the logic framework that gathers, organizes, and interprets data—to deliver the knowledge your organization needs to grow and thrive.
