INVENTORY PLANNING & OPTIMIZATION
Inventory planning and optimization is a process that involves managing inventory levels to meet customer demand while minimizing costs and improving efficiency. This process includes forecasting demand, setting inventory targets, determining reorder points, and managing inventory levels to ensure optimal stock levels.
In emerging markets, maintaining a positive inventory turnover ratio is crucial to the health of an organization’s supply chain strategy. The money spent on managing excess inventory can instead be spent on operating and growth activities. Effective inventory planning and optimization to improve service levels, reduce stockouts, and minimize excess inventory can be challenging. By accurately forecasting demand and setting appropriate inventory targets, Equip is helping companies in emerging markets reduce the risk of stockouts and ensure that they have enough inventory on hand to meet customer needs.
In addition, our inventory planning and optimization has help businesses minimize costs and improve efficiency by reducing excess inventory and improving inventory turnover rates. We set appropriate reorder points and managing inventory levels based on demand forecasts, this reduces the amount of excess inventory our customers typically hold, which reduce storage and handling costs.
At EquipUp we use several techniques and strategies to optimize inventory planning and management, including just-in-time (JIT) inventory management, economic order quantity (EOQ) analysis, and safety stock planning. JIT inventory management involves receiving and processing inventory as it is needed, rather than stockpiling inventory in advance. EOQ analysis involves calculating the optimal order quantity based on factors such as demand, inventory holding costs, and order costs. Safety stock planning involves maintaining a certain level of extra inventory to account for unexpected changes in demand or supply.
Overall, EquipUp’s effective inventory planning and optimization has been critical for most of clients looking to meet customer demand, minimize costs, and improve efficiency by managing their inventory levels in a strategic and proactive manner.
