Leveraging Inventory for Profitable Growth
Description
Every supply chain team must optimize inventory investments with service level performance. Without proper balance, organizations run the risk of excess inventory and trapped working capital, or too little inventory and lost sales. Finding the right balance is critical to boosting service levels while reducing inventory costs. This research examines the current state of inventory optimization adoption, identifies the top pressures driving inventory optimization initiatives, and provides a breakdown of capabilities by industry.
Through advanced “what-if” scenario evaluations based on the use of Digital Twins, Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization (MEIO) has shown to reduce inventory investment between 10 – 30% while improving customer service levels.
An overwhelming majority of respondents rely on their ERP system (77%) to manage inventory. This highlights a significant opportunity for companies to further reduce working capital through the use of more advanced solutions.
