Summary

'Extremely valuable material for any student of retail logistics...well-written and relevant...a worthwhile acquisition.' - "International Journal of Logistics". Throughout the last decade, there have been steady, incremental improvements and relationship changes in retail logistics. These changes have been fundamental to business efficiency and it is now widely recognized that logistics excellence provides competitive advantage. Emphasis is now on minimizing time to market, maximizing on-shelf availability, continuously replenishing stock and utilizing technology to transform the retail supply chain. Internationalization and e-commerce have also presented challenges for logisticians. The key to logistics excellence is relationships. This fully updated second edition brings together well-known academics and practitioners to share their research, ideas and experience of retail logistics in the 21st century.
