ABSTRACT:
A method suitable for use in a physical distribution network. The method comprises the steps of using a distribution resource planning (DRP) logic for providing estimates of at least one of projected future on-hand inventory and replenishment requirements; and, incorporating within the DRP logic an uncertainty of future demand for estimating at least one of future replenishment requirements and inventory levels in the physical distribution network.
