Solving the Service Level
Optimization Problem

Despite investing in ERP and supply chain planning systems, many distribution-intensive companies are still not achieving the customer service levels (or fill rates) they would like. Here are some common problems:

• Not enough “perfect orders”: Stock-outs are still causing lost sales or even lost customers
• Finished goods inventories and associated operating costs are not in line with financial goals
• Forecasts are still not accurate enough
• Too many supply chain “exceptions” are causing expediting or manual intervention
• Inventories are losing value or becoming obsolete

Optimizing customer service levels and finished goods inventory by applying powerful analytics and stochastic optimization can solve these common problems. Like many other business applications, analytical models pull critical data from large historical databases to optimize the business process.

How to Get Started:
With an Inventory Assessment

ToolsGroup’s implementation methodology generates fast, dependable results, usually beginning in just a few weeks. It has been tested in more than 130 implementations over more than five years.

All DPM implementations start with an Inventory Assessment. Six months of demand data is loaded into DPM to get a snapshot of the company’s current inventory performance and an analysis of the inventory mix. This is NOT a consulting project with a nice slide show. It is NOT a proof of concept based on evaluating a few critical parts. This is a comprehensive model of your entire business and nearly all SKUs.
