INVENTORY OPTIMIZATION FOR IMPROVED PRODUCT AVAILABILITY, CUSTOMER SATISFACTION, AND PROFITABILITY
RIGHT-PRODUCT at right-time, right-location, AND RIGHT-QUANTITY TO MEET CUSTOMER DEMAND EFFECTIVELY, WHILE OPTIMIZING COST
Inventory Management is a Challenge and an Opportunity
Demand volatility, supply chain complexity, manual processes and lack of data-driven approach can lead to significant inventory management challenges for your business.
- Demand Volatility: Rapid shifts in demand due to many factors can lead to stock imbalances and reduced customer satisfaction.
- Inefficient Inventory Turnover: Balancing between overstocking and stock-outs can result in high inventory holding costs or lost sale opportunities.
- Manual Processes: Outdated and manual inventory practices lead to human errors, slow replenishment cycles, and increased inventory carrying costs.
- Fragmented Inventory Data: Managing inventory across multiple locations and systems without real-time data causes operational inefficiencies.
Manage Your Inventory Balancing Holding Costs and Service Levels
Our solution aligns business processes, data insights and AI/ML models, to enhance inventory visibility, uncover hidden costs, mitigate risk and improve service levels
- Process Re-engineering: Evaluate the current ‘as-is’ inventory management processes to identify gaps or bottlenecks that hinder managing optimal stock levels. Analyze and tweak processes to reduce overstock situations, which can tie up working capital.
- Multi-echelon Inventory Optimization: Using AI/ML models, accurately predict demand peaks, enabling timely stock replenishment and avoiding over-stocking or under-stocking. Optimize inventory at a single echelon (like a warehouse) and then synchronized optimization of stock levels across multiple echelons in the supply chain, to balance service levels, lead times, and carrying costs.
- Inventory Metrics Optimization: Review and recommend best practices for inventory metrics such as days of supply (DOS), inventory turnover ratio, and carrying costs. Regularly monitor these metrics to identify where optimizations can be made.
