Despite the growing use of supply chain management information systems to automate companies, inventory replenishment decisions, managers are still responsible for these decisions and often have authority to approve/modify the final replenishment decisions. There is evidence that biases, e.g., psychological or incentive related, affect these replenishment decisions. In this paper we present the results of a study of a retailer that has an automatic store ordering system but that allows category managers to override the system's decisions. Our data consists of over 300,000 decisions made by 60 managers over a period of several months. A more systematic understanding of how and when these biases affect decision making along with their consequences would benefit companies as they seek to improve their inventory decision making capability. | |
