Supply chain excellence is largely determined by how
supply, production, and distribution network is configured and
managed, where it positions its inventory, and what inventory
stocking strategies have been implemented. Inventory
optimization is the discipline of continuously managing
inventory policies to optimize supply chain performance against
business objectives, changing market conditions, risks, and
supply chain constraints. These policies include what
inventories to carry, where, in what form, and how much across
the procurement, manufacturing, and distribution network.
