How To Optimize Stock Levels

Why is it crucial to optimize stock levels?

Optimizing stock levels is crucial for companies to achieve financial and operational success. The benefits of reaching an optimized stock level include decreased working capital, reduced cost-to-serve, and enhanced use of production capabilities. By reducing unnecessary stock, companies can increase their cash flow and improve financial KPIs. Additionally, stock optimization can reduce costs associated with emergency stock balancing and waste due to limited shelf-life products. Maintaining the right amount of product to meet demand without sacrificing service level is essential. Optimizing stock levels for intermediate goods such as semi-finished and raw materials can enhance production capabilities and enable a quick reaction to demand surges, resulting in better customer satisfaction and increased profitability.
