Inventory management

A combination of strategical vision and targets together with tactical and operational processes, routines and tools is important to reach the expected results in terms of material availability and capital tied. Inventory management focus on the tactical planning process where steering parameters are tuned based on changed demand and changed service policy. One significant area where weaknesses often are found is in differentiation of stock settings. By using different methods for classification, you will get a structured approach and keep it simple to understand why different items get their stock targets.

MYSIGMA normally divides the item/product range into at least two different classes, but depending on industry there could be more, based on frequency, volume, price, lead time, margin etc. One of the keys in inventory control is to identify the best structure for the classification and service settings.
