Inventory Optimization
With demand becoming more volatile, product life cycles shorter and pressure on
costs higher, the challenge to drive your inventory down is mounting. In addition,
multi-channel multiplies the challenge.
THE REWARD IS HIGH:
��Money stuck in Product can’t be invested in growth
ØLower risk of obsolescence
ØLower cost of management and holding stock
ØLower effort in discounting
ØIncreased agility and focus; you’re always ready to look ahead
ØInventory masks your SC imperfections
IT IS NOT VERY EASY, THOUGH . . .
