Inventory availability is a critical aspect of customer service and its cost is one of the most important entries on a company's balance sheet. Despite numerous initiatives to reduce inventory, inventory levels for most companies have remained the same or increased. This may be due to inventory being held in multiple forms across a company's supply chain together with multiple transfer of ownership. This is not well understood by stakeholders who need the skills to analyze the tradeoffs between inventory costs and customer service levels.
The webinar will discuss maintaining levels of inventory necessary to provide customer service while minimizing inventory resulting from poor supply chain management. Attendees of this webinar will receive a promotional code for $400 off the Inventory Planning and Management course held in Atlanta April 24-26, 2013.
This one-hour session will be presented by Dr. Amar Ramudhin and Dr. Don Ratliff of the Georgia Tech Supply Chain & Logistics Institute.
