Challenges

Stock shortages leading to unsatisfied customers are all too often related to inefficient or general inadequate inventory planning. Such stockouts can majorly disadvantage your company by causing lost sales and damaging customer loyalty. Recovery is costly, time and effort-intensive. Moreover, short- and long-term planning can be obstructed, and capacities are consequently used inadequately, hindering your company’s overall efficiency.
However, too much stock can also decrease profitability and prohibit growth. One risks creating and paying for wasted goods and eroding margin. Capital is utilized inefficiently; hence opportunities are lost.

Responses

There are a multitude of ways to approach challenges resulting from inaccurate, inefficient inventory planning and forecasting. To guarantee immediate success with clear strategies, one should focus on deploying adequate inventory by optimizing the two key levers in inventory management.

First, working stock needs to be optimized for covering predictable demand.

Second, a suitable safety stock needs to be created that is able to absorb demand variability.

Considering those two responses, success is guaranteed if the two levers are approached and implemented correctly.

Methods

Anticipating customer demand correctly builds the foundation for the two response strategies. You can achieve such predictions accurately while being cost-effective by maximizing the value of your data. The key here is the application of retail sciences that draw from machine learning, artificial intelligence and decision science disciplines.

Solution

For that reason, PEBM draws on Machine Learning-based Forecasting and Inventory Optimization, allowing you to know the optimal stock level for each SKU. Thus your company will always be confident to stock the products your customer really wants.

Results

Unlocking the value of these innovative tools creates a new capability to combine flexibility with accuracy. Through a higher readiness to deliver, you can react more flexibly to changes in customer demand while decreasing your safety stocks. Hence your business will accelerate as it can now consequently align with the customer needs while achieving significant overall inventory reduction.
