In most organizations, highly qualified professionals are required to respond to a barrage of typically uncoordinated initiatives from across the organization. Those initiatives normally include increasing SKUs, customization, and inventory availability while reducing customer response times, transportation costs, purchase costs, and manufacturing costs.
Inventory Strategy arms them with a strategy for easily achieving this otherwise impossible task by presenting a proven, fact-based, balanced, and logical means of determining the proper role and level of inventory in supply chain strategy.
