Inventory Optimization

Companies keep inventory as insurance to bank against the variability inherent throughout the supply chain, specifically variability in demand, supply lead times, and transportation. There is also a need to keep inventory to cover normal replenishment delays (cycle stock).

Many of today's biggest supply chain improvement efforts focus on either reducing variability that can be controlled or planning for the lowest possible inventory necessary to counteract the variability that cannot be controlled.

Companies cannot afford to stock out or to carry excess inventory, so LLamasoft’s inventory & capacity modeling solution enables analysts to create highly accurate models across all echelons of the supply chain, identifying the lowest-cost operation plan. Users can also simulate their operations to predict the service rates, inventory levels, and site capacity constraints for any hypothetical supply chain structure.

A global chemical producer has numerous production and distribution methods to support their product mix. Demand for many of these products is seasonal, but production is continuous with limited capacity and lengthy changeover times. The operations team uses LLamasoft technology to help plan the proper pre-production and inventory placement schedules to counteract demand seasonality and facility capacity constraints.		A major manufacturer of industrial controls has over 10,000 SKU’s flowing through their global supply chain. There is significant variation in size, weight, lead-time, and demand for each of these items. The supply chain team has incorporated LLamasoft’s Inventory & Capacity Modeling solution into their planning process, determining the best safety and cycle stock settings for each item as well as the proper location to stock each item throughout their global supply chain.
