Chainalytics’ Inventory Policy Optimization service helps you determine the optimal inventory levels of finished goods, work-in-process, and raw materials throughout your supply chain network. By considering current inventory deployment and service level strategies as well as the inherent demand and supply variability in your network, this service helps you develop inventory stocking policies — like days-on-hand and re-order levels — for each item at each location. By focusing on having the right quantity of product at the right time, you can profitably satisfy customer demand and service expectations with minimal overall inventory investment.

Chainalytics’ Inventory Policy Optimization service can reduce your total inventory investment and help you maintain your service level performance by effectively answering these questions:

• Are we holding too much or too little inventory to meet service levels?
• How should my inventory policy adapt to seasonal demand patterns?
• What is my pre-build strategy given the constraints of my production or procurement capacity?
• What is the impact to my inventory positions and costs of adopting flexible manufacturing strategies that increase the frequency and decrease the size of replenishment shipments?
• What are my inventory requirements as I lengthen my supply chain through global sourcing alternatives?
