Stock optimization chooses inventory rules that support the required service without creating unnecessary holding risk. The decision depends on demand behavior, replenishment variability and the characteristics of each item.
Segment items by their importance, movement and storage constraints. Review order quantities and replenishment triggers using current evidence. Check whether inaccurate records or unplanned demand are causing apparent stock-level problems.
Compare service, excess stock and write-offs after changing a rule. Allow enough time to observe the replenishment cycle. Update the parameters when the product or supply conditions change rather than applying one setting to the entire catalog.
