Advance Praise for Infopartnering "André has done a great job of describing a future world in which we harness the power of technology and cooperative relationships to become as efficient and consumer-focused as possible." ?Jerry Golub, Director, Trade and Inventory Effectiveness, Price Chopper Supermarkets "Correctly defines linkage between suppliers, retailers, and customers and provides a sure-footed road map to reduce costs at each level. A viable alternative to those Non-ELDP operators who are scurrying pell-mell toward CRP but giving up the farm to do it." ?M. Davis Herriman, Vice President, Grocery Operations, Giant Foods, Inc. "Finally, a book that demystifies the ?how-to?s? of ECR. Infopartnering is a must-read for any Senior Manager truly dedicated to making ECR a reality." ?Daphne Perry, General Manager, ECR, H. J. Heinz Company of Canada, Ltd. "André Martin has provided the experienced as well as the novice logistician with a valuable insight into ECR. Infopartnering is not business as usual, but a unique, value-added approach to meeting customer requirements." ?Joseph Andraski, Vice President, Sales & Integrated Logistics Division, Nabisco Food Group "Infopartnering will help drive the implementation of new infopartnering techniques such as continuous replenishment to better manage the distribution pipeline for greater consumer value." ?
