Future research areas concern the hierarchical and sequential planning, and the
use of comprehensive quantitative DSSs. The advances in IT and computation
technologies encourage enlargement of hierarchical planning over the entire SC
processes (Fleischmann and Meyr 2003). This requires a discussion of the possibility
of decomposition and coordination of decentralized decision making and
analyzing the distribution of decision rights and information asymmetries within
the SC. The following areas illustrate ideas for developing more sophisticated
models. Considering the hierarchy of decisions would be beneficial for example in
evaluating interdependencies between store layout, master category and assortment
planning, or between shelf layout and replenishment. Furthermore, considering the
SC from consumer to supplier as an entire system and taking into account the
interdependencies of various planning activities would be advantageous, e.g., for
connecting supplier selection with assortment management or joint optimization of
order patterns and shelf layout.We will analyze the effects of integrated shelf space
and inventory planning in Chap. 5 and extension with pricing decisions in Chap. 6.
