Frequently Asked Questions
What is inventory management?

Inventory management is the process of planning, controlling and optimizing stock levels to meet customer demand while avoiding unnecessary excess inventory. In supply chain planning, it connects availability, replenishment, service levels and working capital.
Why do companies have both stockouts and excess inventory?

This usually happens when inventory is in the wrong place or on the wrong items. A company can have high total inventory while still facing shortages on critical products because planning decisions are not aligned with real demand.
How can companies reduce stockouts?

Companies can reduce stockouts by improving visibility, tracking real demand signals, protecting critical items with buffers and prioritizing replenishment based on risk rather than reacting to every alert the same way.
How can companies reduce excess inventory?

Excess inventory can be reduced by identifying slow-moving stock, adjusting replenishment rules, improving demand visibility and avoiding planning decisions based only on outdated forecasts or budget assumptions.
How does demand-driven planning improve inventory management?

Demand-driven planning helps teams connect replenishment decisions to actual consumption, buffer status and operational priorities. This makes it easier to protect service levels while reducing inventory that does not create value.
