Inventory analysis that ends in an operating decision

Find the inventory rules that no longer fit the business.

Start with a diagnostic. If the opportunity is real, move into forecasting, replenishment policy, simulation or an ongoing exception-review process.

Inventory Optimization Assessment

A fixed-scope review of where inventory is heavy, where availability is fragile, and which current rules are worth challenging first.

Starting at $2,500

Typical: $2,500–$5,000

Questions it is designed to answer

Where is inventory excessive?
Where are we understocked?
Which SKUs tie up the most working capital?
Where is demand intermittent or unstable?
Which reorder points look outdated?
Which suppliers add lead-time risk?
Where do stockouts repeat?
What should management review first?

Typical deliverables

  • SKU-level analysis and ABC/XYZ segmentation
  • Demand variability and inventory-turn analysis
  • Slow/dead-stock identification
  • Initial forecasting and lead-time analysis
  • Safety-stock / reorder-point review
  • Financial opportunity estimates
  • Management presentation and prioritized action plan
02 · Implementation

Forecasting & Inventory Optimization

Once the expensive failure modes are clear, build the forecasting and replenishment logic around the way your operation actually behaves.

Starting at $7,500

Typical: $7,500–$20,000+ · Complex multi-location projects quoted separately.

Forecast + uncertainty + review threshold

Forecasting

SKU-level and intermittent-demand forecasting, seasonality, uncertainty and temporal backtesting.

Replenishment

Safety stock, reorder points, service levels and economic ordering policies.

Allocation

Branch/location inventory analysis and constrained working-capital allocation.

Simulation

Test candidate policies against historical or simulated demand before rollout.

03 · Ongoing

Ongoing Inventory Intelligence

A recurring review layer for the exceptions that actually moved—not a dashboard you have to remember to open.

Starting at $1,500/month

Typical: $1,500–$5,000/month

Methods underneath

Serious analysis without making the buyer learn the math.

Forecasting, regression, probability, operations research, optimization, Monte Carlo simulation, SKU segmentation and sensitivity analysis are tools. The deliverable is a clearer decision.
