Effective Inventory Management through Data Driven Decisions

Overview

Inventory Analytics is the process of how data can be extracted, refined and anal_x0002_ysed to deliver actionable business insights in the management of materials. These insights can deliver improved efficiencies for inbound and outbound processes, inventory levels and operations in a business.

It also helps in compare performance across var_x0002_ious fulfilment strategies. In managing inventory, analytics helps in identifying the EOQ and Safety stocks of both Raw Material and Finished goods to optimize inven_x0002_tory keeping the cost, availability and desired service levels in mind. Analytics is useful in tracking on hand, on hand aging, obsolescence slow and fast moving sku’s.

Future workshops in the sequence will highlight the role of analytics in the areas of Fulfilment, Supplier Risk & Perfor_x0002_mance and more.
