- Thanks again for your interest in this course, before I go, I'd like to point you to some further resources that you can use to increase your knowledge about supply chain inventory problems. The first of three books I'll recommend is "Matching Supply with Demand" by Cachon and Terwiesch. They are professors at the University of Pennsylvania, and this is an excellent overview of inventory problems, as well as other items dealing with operations within a company. They're also the authors of a larger book, "Operations Management", now in its second edition. And it's a textbook that is used for courses that run an entire semester or perhaps several semesters. And no, I don't mind recommending two books by the same set of authors, because both of them are quite good and different enough that they merit separate recommendations. If you have a background in calculus, then you might want you to look at the "Handbook of EOQ and Inventory Problems". This is an edited volume, and it's a more advanced text, but if you're good with math, specifically calculus, then it can help you analyze inventory and EOQ problems, including deriving a lot of the formulas that I took as given within this course. Thanks again. I appreciate your interest in this course.
