  • Need :
    Inadequate reviews of inventory levels, safety stock, and replenishment policies lead to recurrent stock-outs or excess inventory across the supply chain. Organizations choose to keep inventory levels high as a buffer against uncertainties leads to high working capital while low inventory levels lead to stock outs. Accurate forecasting is needed to strike the right balance.
