Warehouse Inventory

For a large gardening retailer in the U.K we conducted a study analyzing their inventory positions, assortment profitability and supply-chain strategy.  Based on our analysis the firm could accurately determine their losses from stockouts—periods when customers were unable to purchase because the item was out of stock.

We modelled direct and indirect costs for each item’s stockout and built a simulation model that allowed the firm to do what-if analysis on their stocking policies.
