IntelliTrans Supply Chain Inventory Management Solutions FAQs
What is Inventory Management in Supply Chain?
In the supply chain, inventory management refers to the tracking of inventory between different points in the supply chain — from manufacturers, through freight, warehouses, and ultimately to the point of sale. This process encompasses inventory across the entire supply chain, expanding through modes, industries, and inventory status (whether in motion or in storage).
What is the Role of Inventory Management in Supply Chain Management?
The role of inventory management in supply chain management is to track shipments and ensure they’re moving at an appropriate pace to reach their destination on time. With dozens of shipments to manage at once and hundreds of miles for each shipment to travel, inventory management is how shippers keep track and organize the status of each shipment without losing track of deadlines and locations.
Why is Inventory Management Important in the Supply Chain?
Inventory management is important for keeping shipments moving, checking shipment status, and tracking inventory shortages and surpluses. Proper inventory management is essential for satisfying customers, avoiding unnecessary fees, and ensuring shipments arrive on time.
How do you Manage Inventory in the Supply Chain?
Managing inventory in the supply chain is an activity that enables shippers to deliver outstanding service to their customers while boosting their own profitability. To do this, a shipper creates a long-term demand model that estimates the required levels of a product over time. They then analyze the forecasted short-term demand of this product and compare it to the real-time inventory level at their customer’s facility. Depending on the average shipment time required to receive new products, a low-limit level of the inventory is established.
When inventory drops below this limit, the supplier automatically orders a new shipment for this customer without the customer’s involvement. Similarly, a high-limit level of inventory is established that ensures the customer has an adequate level of stock to withstand minor disruptions without running out. This high-limit level also ensures the supplier does not overproduce product, which might cause excessive demurrage costs, shipment costs, and inventory holding costs.
To access real-time inventory visibility, shippers should purchase a holistic inventory management software — such as the one offered by IntelliTrans
