The Cracks are Showing – Inventory Planning Tools Aren’t Working Anymore
Learn how to reduce inventory without sacrificing fill rates.
Traditional Inventory Planning Tools Just Aren’t Cutting It
The planning methods that sustained most wholesale distributors for decades are failing due to conditions that show no signs of returning to normal. Inventory planning tools were built for a fundamentally different operating environment. Now, the cracks are showing in stockouts, excess inventory, and planning teams stuck in spreadsheets.
“The typical approach is reliance on averages and the intuition of a planner to subjectively buffer that average to protect against demand and supply variability.”
- Greg Hartunian, Director of Sales, Epicor
