Achieving excellence in physical goods inventory management is one of the most crucial areas of running a business.
Poor inventory management results in:
• Stockouts, which cause delayed service and delivery to customers
• Excess inventory, which creates poor cash flow and wasted money
• And excess labor effort needed to cope with the follow-on problems that stockouts and excess inventory create
