Abstract

How firms choose and manage their inventory is a question of interest for academics and practitioners in many fields, including Operations Management, Marketing, and Information Technology. Much recent attention has focused on the possibilities of information-sharing systems to aid in this setting, including sharing inventory information among firms (SAP) and sharing point-of-sale data (EDI). This classroom exercise illustrates the existence and implications of bounded rationality on the part of inventory managers, and shows how systems like these can help in inventory decision-making.
