JDA Inventory Policy Optimization

Now more than ever, companies need an advanced inventory optimization approach that can significantly reduce the amount of working capital invested in inventory while at the same time maintaining or increasing customer service. When inventory is stocked at many locations in a multi-echelon network, conventional methods for setting inventory levels are not effective. Lacking of the right tool or solution forces companies to set service levels that may be too high or too low, frequent manual intervention or guesswork on your inventory policies can significantly hurt your bottom-line.
