This white paper describes why running an inventory optimization solution with already-installed ERP/SCM systems can enable organizations to operate profitably within new market dynamics. The paper also shows how SAS® solutions provide visibility at various organizational levels to help monitor, track, alert and optimize. Key benefits covered include reducing inventory holding, ordering and backorder penalty costs; calculating optimal inventory replenishment policies; and developing better replenishment strategies for fast-moving items. In addition, the paper mentions benefits such as basing finished goods distribution strategies on information from all distribution systems across the enterprise and aligning finished goods strategies by sharing data with all distribution professionals.
