Implementation of Inventory Systems in China

Abstract

The problems encountered when attempting to incorporate modern systems for inventory and materials management into a rapidly developing country are discussed. Specifically, the case of present‐day China is used as the focus of the study. After reviewing some historical background for the present situation, recommendations are provided for the gradual adoption of modern inventory practices in light of the limited capital and technology available for the transition.
