The Modern Supply Chain: Inventory Optimization Competitive Assessment

Overview

This Manufacturing Insights report presents our view of the current landscape of inventory optimization technology, its state of maturity, and key vendors that continue to provide competitive offerings in this technology space.

"In the current challenging economic climate, cost control and capital preservation are at the very top of manufacturers' priority lists. Optimizing assets and working capital — particularly inventory — is an area of particular focus, and with quite reasonable acquisition cost and attractive ROI, inventory optimization (IO) applications are quite compelling. The key vendors in this space offer maturing applications with strong functional capability. If IO is not on your short list of priority projects, at least look at these applications as the level of benefit may surprise you!" — Simon Ellis, practice director, Supply Chain
