Understanding the infrastructure cost-benefit and how HP Piazza can work for you
The future of publishing. Now.
'Waste is that stock of materials and goods in excess of requirements that turns up in high prices and low wages.' Said Henry Ford many years ago.
Although the book publishing supply chain has changed somewhat with technology, inventory forecasting is still one of the most complicated aspects of the business.
To keep up with market changes and ensure profitability and growth, zero inventory is becoming a must. And that means Publishers must perfect their operations and work more effectively.
