"If you love Susan Elizabeth Phillips for romantic comedy, and Janet Evanovich for suspense, then you'll love everything Janet Elizabeth Henderson writes!" Goodreads Read the first three romantic comedies in Janet Elizabeth Henderson's award winning Scottish Highlands series, set in the small town of Invertary! Lingerie Wars What happens when a former military hero accidentally buys an underwear shop in middle-of-nowhere, Scotland? Especially when the town already has a successful lingerie shop, owned by a very sexy, but scarred, ex-model. War. That's what happens. Lingerie war to be specific! It's the local girl against the English invader in this hot, heartwarming romance. Goody Two Shoes What happens when a famous American singer, who specialises in love songs, decides to get married? He calls his manager and asks him to find a suitable bride! The singer doesn't want love, he wants practicality. He wants someone who's as far from Hollywood-fake as you can get. Someone like the cute but efficient librarian in the Scottish town where he's just bought a castle... Magenta Mine He's rich, he's a computer genius, and he's completely incapable of talking to the girl he's been pining for his whole life. If he could just get her alone maybe he'd be able to tell her how he feels. And what better way to do that than to get stuck in an abandoned mine so the girl you adore has to come rescue you? PRAISE FOR JANET ELIZABETH HENDERSON "Fantastic writing laced with humour and believable Scottish characters and plot. This could only happen in the Scottish Highlands. Absolutely brilliant." Amazon "This is the best romance I've read in months. Super sweet with laugh-out-loud funny bits and spicy bits and heart-tugging bits." Amazon UK "One of my most favorite authors!! Excellent storytelling, character and world building!! I love how you have tried some of your series together but still made them individual!!"

Does inventory management sometimes feel like a waste of time? Learn how to maximize your inventory management process to use it as a tool for making important business decisions.

CD-ROM includes video clips, performance booklets, summary sheets, annotated bibliography on IRIs.

Foundations of Inventory Management presents a complete treatment of inventory theory and models for use in advanced undergraduate, masters, or PhD courses in Operations research, manufacturing management or Operations management. Coverage is organized into an introductory section, followed by a section focused on predictable supply and demand, and the third section covering stochastic inventory models. Many recent developments related to or impacting inventory such as ERP systems, supply chain management, JIT, and ERP systems are integrated within the text. The text presents inventory as a critical topic for virtually all businesses today and one in which theory and practice are closely linked. Prequisite coursework for students of this text would include basic optimization theory, stochastic processes, and dynamic programming. The text includes examples as well as rigorous assignment problem sets.

In this book . . . Nicolas Vandeput hacks his way through the maze of quantitative supply chain optimizations. This book illustrates how the quantitative optimization of 21st century supply chains should be crafted and executed. . . . Vandeput is at the forefront of a new and better way of doing supply chains, and thanks to a richly illustrated book, where every single situation gets its own illustrating code snippet, so could you. --Joannes Vermorel, CEO, Lokad Inventory Optimization argues that mathematical inventory models can only take us so far with supply chain management. In order to optimize inventory policies, we have to use probabilistic simulations. The book explains how to implement these models and simulations step-by-step, starting from simple deterministic ones to complex multi-echelon optimization. The first two parts of the book discuss classical mathematical models, their limitations and assumptions, and a quick but effective introduction to Python is provided. Part 3 contains more advanced models that will allow you to optimize your profits, estimate your lost sales and use advanced demand distributions. It also provides an explanation of how you can optimize a multi-echelon supply chain based on a simple—yet powerful—framework. Part 4 discusses inventory optimization thanks to simulations under custom discrete demand probability functions. Inventory managers, demand planners and academics interested in gaining cost-effective solutions will benefit from the "do-it-yourself" examples and Python programs included in each chapter. Events around the book Link to a De Gruyter Online Event in which the author Nicolas Vandeput together with Stefan de Kok, supply chain innovator and CEO of Wahupa; Koen Cobbaert, Director in the S&O Industry practice of PwC Belgium; Bram Desmet, professor of operations & supply chain at the Vlerick Business School in Ghent; and Karl-Eric Devaux, Planning Consultant, Hatmill, discuss about models for inventory optimization.
