Inventory Management
How do you know what you need to know before you know you need it?
We are not exactly sure how to the answer this question, but one thing we do know is that predictive analytics based on real-time data can help.
Ineffective inventory tools can lead to outages, rush shipments, disruption, and productivity losses. Fortunately, today’s technology advancements using real time data and predictive analytics helps in ever improving ways.
By utilizing predictive analytics as part of the inventory management process to forecast appropriate stock levels, you can more accurately detect your inventory needs, thereby reducing unnecessary inventory and operating more efficiently during hectic periods. Predictive analytics evaluates demand and improves planning, giving manufacturers more peace of mind and confidence the products they require to run their operations will be there when they need them. It also can cut down the likelihood of having too many items on hand which can impact space utilization and increase working capital investments.
