| Abstract: | In today's quick response marketplace, it is becoming more and more difficult for business to react to the pressing demands of customers and consumers. Success depends upon making operations more flexible, in particular to build new flexibility into deployment: the allocation of available finished goods to meet immediate demands. This article discusses the importance of deployment and the inadequacies of current distribution resource planning (DRP) methods to plan for it. |
