Inventory management today is a tricky balancing act.
“Keep more Inventory”, a common strategy that supply chain executives are currently employing to control the effects and impact of disruptions within the supply chain. But keeping this ‘safety stock’ can cause costs of warehousing and distribution to skyrocket and take a tremendous toll on a company’s bottom line operations.Indeed, navigating the delicate balance of inventory management requires finesse - getting everything right – the products, strategic locations and demands to rightfully satisfy customer demands. This is to reduce operation costs, prevent stock outs and overstocking.
