What you’ll learn.
Follow inventory decisions from a reliable stock position through segmentation, safety stock, replenishment, dated projections, excess, location choices and daily control. Each chapter explains the method, works through a checked example and shows where AI can help.
Practise with 24 independent exercises. Each has a complete task prompt, source inputs, rules and a decisive check; five tool and workflow builds also include a PRD and a staged guide. The supplied data combines unchanged fictional Upshift master records with explicitly labelled teaching scenarios.
For inventory planners, buyers, supply chain managers and operations managers with working supply chain knowledge and basic AI use. No programming experience is assumed. This is the complete 83-page digital review edition, with the specialist cover.
