Inventory optimization is often a fundamental pillar of supply chain management, and a growing opportunity in small and medium-sized companies. Two scenarios are easily identifiable: buying products in high quantities translates into high inventory costs, and buying a smaller quantity than required translates into lost sales which is the differential between expected demand (or forecast demand) and actual sales.
Manual inventory management not only has these two scenarios, but there is a problem derived from this that produces uncertainty not only in internal processes, but also towards suppliers, buyers, and the sales and operations plan: the frequency of information review. For many companies it is common to perform an exhaustive inventory count at the end of the month, resulting in lost time and lost sales. Constant inventory review is only possible when processes are automated. Having accurate information on how much you have in each store or distribution center is a significant advantage to achieve higher revenues. There are huge areas of opportunity when optimizing inventory and warehousing strategies across multiple channels to drive customer service.
The best way to build an advantage over market competitors is to align inventory planning, inventory strategy and inventory execution with strategic business objectives for service, production and distribution.
