INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Maintaining optimal inventory levels reduces the possibility of downtime in the manufacturing processes, low levels of customer service or lost sales. All processes have an inventory element, whether in manufacturing materials or finished products or in materials to offer services or to promote sales.

The difficulty to establish mechanisms to optimize the investment and guarantee the inventory service is directly proportional to the complexity of the distribution chain. We offer a project that comprehensively aligns and synchronize the supply chain affecting the effectiveness of operations and the business’s profitability.

The Challenge

Companies must recognize the value of proper inventory management so that they can channel their efforts towards the assurance of the inventory’s optimal level while satisfying the demand and minimizing costs, otherwise, the effects can result in:

  • Product obsolescence, damage and failures due to manipulation, opportunity costs and even low inventory reliability.
  • Increase in pending orders to dispatch – sold out.
  • Increase in value of inventory.
  • High customer turnover.
  • Increase in cancelled orders.
  • Lack of storage space.
  • Low turnover of stock.
  • Cancellation of purchases.

The above has an impact on financial and market losses.
