Inventory Reduction Initiatives
Description

Our most recent session on inventory reduction was quite strategic – we covered a few top performers and the ways they optimize their overall inventory levels. That’s one way to reduce inventory. Another way is to stage multiple small battles rather than one big attack. This session will cover the more tactical inventory reduction initiatives. For example, working with suppliers to reduce minimum order quantities, changing replenishment frequency, pack size adjustments, stocking policies (in one central location versus forward-deployed), etc. The goal is to look at inventory impacts on specific part categories or part numbers. We’re less focused on any individual initiative’s impact on your total months of supply and more interested in understanding each initiative in particular.
