Praise for Smart Inventory Solutions, Second Edition

This is a well-written, practical book. Phill Slater speaks from experience, and shows that critical inventory scrutiny will bring real bottom line savings. His message is very relevant to our studies, and I will be recommending this book to our students.

Phillip Slater is a recognized leader in his field and has developed a proven system for reviewing and rationalizing spares. Smart Inventory Solutions is insightful, practical, and sometimes controversial and I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone that has an interest in reducing their materials and spare parts investment or who just wants to improve their materials and spares parts management.

Smart Inventory Solutions is packed with practical ideas on how to improve management of inventory “The Forgotten Investment!”. The book not only provides enlightening concepts but also a “How to” approach for accomplishing tasks. Philip Slater makes eloquent arguments for the important role that inventory needs to play in today’s competitive environment.

I have worked in the airline industry for many years and lived through the traps that are described herein. Aircraft parts are extraordinarily expensive, so mismanagement of inventory can easily cripple an operation. Phillip presents the philosophy of real inventory optimization in a clear, logical and pragmatic manner, so that everyone in the materials management chain can understand and be part of the process. Following the steps he has detailed will certainly give a continuing competitive advantage to any aircraft operator, which could be the tipping point for flourishing, when others are just surviving in this extremely volatile and cutthroat industry. I wish I had read this book years ago!
