High levels of inventory are a symptom of broader issues with the way inventory is controlled, supplied, accessed, purchased and managed. Addressing high levels of inventory through traditional 'optimization' alone does not resolve these greater issues.

 

True optimization and a lasting result requires a complete solution and an understanding of the context and process factors that influence your inventory. We call this Inventory Process Optimization™.

 

Inventory Process Optimization™ does not use just one technique for reviewing your inventory it addresses all of the issues and has a clever way of targeting which solutions you should apply to which parts of your inventory. 

 

 

RECOMMENDED FOR

Practitioners responsible for indirect inventory,  that is, “bought in” inventory such as parts and components, finished goods, service parts, OEM spares, MRO inventory, engineering spares and industrial supplies.  People who have benefited from this workshop include Inventory Controllers and Managers, Operations and Logistics Managers, Purchasing Professionals, Commercial and Financial Managers.

 

 

OBJECTIVES

In this workshop Phillip Slater shows you the Inventory Cash Release™ Process, a simple, step-by-step methodology that enables you to optimize the factors that influence your inventory levels and significantly reduce your inventory investment without compromising your risks or availability.
