Practical analytical tools for replenishment, order quantity, inventory classification, stock movement, ageing and working-capital control.
Min-Max & Reorder Point
Determine minimum level, maximum level, reorder point and replenishment quantity from consumption, lead time and safety stock.
EOQ / Order Quantity
Calculate economical order quantity and understand the relationship between demand, ordering cost and carrying cost.
Inventory Turnover
Measure how efficiently inventory is converted through consumption or cost of goods and identify slow capital rotation.
ABC Analysis
Classify inventory according to annual consumption value and establish differentiated control priorities.
FSN Analysis
Identify Fast, Slow and Non-Moving materials from issue activity and support inventory rationalization.
Inventory Ageing
Analyse stock by age, identify ageing exposure and support action on excess, obsolete and dead inventory.
