Supply Chain Excellence Solutions

Excess inventory is almost never an inventory problem. It is what an operation quietly builds up to protect itself from an unreliable supplier, a forecast nobody believes, or a planning parameter set once at go-live and never revisited since.

So we find what the buffer is protecting against and fix that first, then tune the planning parameters. The order matters: retuning MRP on top of an unresolved constraint moves the stock to a different line on the balance sheet and calls it an improvement.
