Inventory management

Excess inventory is a cost burden to industry in terms of capital tied up, the cost of obsolescence and the cost of servicing product in the supply chain.

Wincanton's approach to designing supply chain solutions addresses the combined goals of reducing inventory and maximising product availability to achieve cost optimisation without compromising service.

Our approach starts with developing a thorough understanding of the customer's own business model, order management and demand forecasting, before looking at process improvement, supplier management techniques and the intelligent application of software solutions to optimise the management of inventory through the supply chain.
