Inventory Optimization

Supply chain excellence is largely determined by how supply, production, and distribution network is configured and managed, where it positions its inventory, and what inventory stocking strategies have been implemented. Inventory optimization is the discipline of continuously managing inventory policies to optimize supply chain performance against business objectives, changing market conditions, risks, and supply chain constraints. These policies include what inventories to carry, where, in what form, and how much across the procurement, manufacturing, and distribution network.
