The importance of supply chain management in promoting reading

Effective supply chain management guarantees that popular titles, new releases, and diverse materials are consistently accessible when patrons want them. Nothing deters reading habits more than repeatedly encountering unavailable books. Libraries must balance demand forecasting with budget limitations to maintain optimal inventory levels across both physical and digital collections.
