Classify products to increase visibility
Group stocked products according to their sales and velocity and set the replenishment cycle and target fill rate in line with each product’s classification. Gain immediate visibility into each classification’s policy such as stock value, calculated model stock value, average monthly demand, achieved fill rate, and target fill rate.
Set the right safety stock for stocked items
Safety stock is designed to mitigate supply and demand risk. When the stock level reaches this minimum level, the stock will automatically be replenished to fill the forecasted demand and ensure that the target fill rate is achieved.
Identify obsolete and non-stocked items
Setting the correct stocking indicator is essential to replenishment and determines what data is applied when calculating the recommended order. Non-stocked items are only replenished when a customer places an order and the goal is to hold zero stock. Obsolete items will never be ordered, there can be stock, and it can be sold, however the stock is never replenished.
Refining your inventory policy
Set the inventory policy at a national level or by product or location if you have multiple stocking locations for an item. The policy allows for flexibility, enabling you to create manual policy overrides to a specific policy for an individual product, location, or supplier.
