Inventory, the lifeblood of the business
Too little inventory exposes you to stockouts, lost sales and disappointed customers. Too much inventory ties up cash, clutters warehouses and generates unnecessary costs. Inventory management is a genuine business strategy, at the intersection of supply chain, finance and customer relations.
Hidden costs that eat into your margins
Between storage rent, energy for preservation, handling, insurance and obsolescence, the total cost of ownership can represent 15 to 30% of inventory value per year.
5 questions to assess your maturity
Do you regularly run into stockouts? Do your teams spend more time searching than deciding? Do you have inventory that has not moved in more than 6 months? Is your service level below 95%? Do your forecasts account for seasonality? If you answer yes to 2 or more of these questions, it is time to rethink your practices.
