Effectively managing your single largest asset - inventory - can be a series of ongoing challenges.  In this webcast, inventory management and replenishment expert King Harrison will share his thoughts about inventory management pitfalls by discussing different scenarios and how to address them.  The session will include time for Q & A.

• Does your replenishment system forecast based upon sales or customer demand? Does it matter?
• Does your replenishment system over react to one spike in demand? Can it be filtered out? Should it be?
• Are lead times based upon the supplier's quote or calculated from actual receipts?
• Are you carrying too much safety stock for your best selling products? How about your worst selling products?
• Do your buyers have tools to help determine the optimum order frequency? Or do they spend time reviewing all lines daily, or setting up fixed intervals for review?
• Can they easily replenish seasonal products coming into a season, and understand how to "slow down" before the season ends?
• Do they spend minutes a day or hours a day developing purchase orders?
• Are your buyers taking advantage of deals offered from your suppliers? Or is that a manual process and you hope it is being looked at?
