When it comes to optimizing inventory management, the questions are many: What is the right level of inventory? At what point in the supply chain? How do I know what is optimal? Are we prepared for seasonal shifts?
Enterprises that follow a conventional single-stage, single-item inventory optimization model that looks at each SKU and stock location will be out of step — and perhaps out of luck — in today’s global, interconnected business operations. The result: frequent stock outs, overstock, unhappy customers and blocked working capital.
MBS helps enterprises improve their inventory management capabilities, and create more responsive, more efficient supply chains. MBS can quickly assess your current inventory situation and devise a plan to simultaneously increase product availability and service levels while reducing investment in working capital.
What to Expect With MBS’ Inventory Optimization
Promoting Healthier Cash Flows Optimally
Our experts can devise an improvement plan to reduce working capital and increase inventory fill rate. We will help you capture every available demand opportunity while optimizing the use of cash to fund operations.
Remember, having the right products readily available is critical to capturing demand while keeping inventories low. When items are ready “just in time,” they aren't sitting idle and taking up space, costing money and, possibly, becoming obsolete.
