Machine Learning for Inventory Optimization
Effective inventory management is crucial in manufacturing, where poor safety stock planning can lead to overstocking or stockouts—both harming profitability. Many firms hold up to 80% more safety stock than needed, tying up capital and reducing ROI. This whitepaper introduces a data science-based approach to optimize inventory, balancing cost and service levels. It highlights four improvement levers: shrinkage optimization, demand forecasting, ordering efficiency, and safety stock precision—each contributing to better financial performance, reduced waste, and enhanced operational resilience.
