Easy-to-use Inventory Planning Tool

Inventory reduction is a phrase beloved of ERP consultants, FDs and other Directors. In fact, they continue to set the same goal for Materials Management - reduce inventory - year after year.

Reducing inventory is good because it cuts investment and it's easier to manage the plant if there's less of it. However, the Materials Manager knows we'll get into worse trouble if we run out of anything that affects on-time customer delivery, so the target is often missed.

Inventory optimisation is the Material Manager's real goal: minimum stock holding consistent with 100% delivery performance.
