Yes PLM is more of a manufacturing model, but im using it here to mean retailer controlled inventory replenishment
By the way Tracey, ERP is extremely important to the efficiency of Mid to Large retail and manufacturing ogranizations. Regardless of how efficient a manager is, there is no way they can over see the production shipment and selling of a million items without an efficient IT infrastructure
let alone provide back useful information to other Business Functions (like forecasting, billing and accounting) without good systems
