There is no logical connection between inventory strategy and logistics optimization or the multiplicity of rules—allocation, ATP, inventory matching, routing—and planning engines. Second Step: Understand the Role of Inventory. Companies are unsure if inventory is a bad or a good thing. Inventory is the most important buffer in times of volatility: however, with the current levels of understanding of inventory strategies, most are holding the wrong inventory.

As a result, Cecere says that today 80% of companies are seeing the same results (operating margins versus inventory turns) as they did ten years ago. They’ve developed outward-facing processes that leverage channel data with minimal latency to grasp demand, balance inventory, and replenish supply across complex “networks of many”. Looking into the future, you won’t likely do business the same way in 2030 that you do today, and your supply chain will need to keep pace, says Cecere.
