Presentation
Inventory optimization – turning analysis into profits.
May 14, 2019 | 12:45pm – 13:05pm | Theater, Grand Saguaro Foyer
Inventory optimization, including multi-echelon inventory optimization (MEIO), has been around for a number of years. MEIO promises to improve service levels while reducing inventory levels. However, many companies struggle with implementing the right tools, processes, and organization to realize substantial improvements. We will show you how to get from reports to results sharing details for a recent project we supported.
