Designing Empty-Shelf Inventory Management Strategies
An applied course in empty-shelf inventory management built around the decisions practitioners actually face.
Course Overview
Warehouse performance on empty-shelf inventory management is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. Most procurement disputes about this strand of procurement and supply operations originate in a specification written too quickly. It is designed for mixed groups, so that the procurement and supply operations discipline is examined from more than one functional angle. The course gives participants a defensible structure for empty-shelf inventory management and the judgement to adapt it. They leave able to brief senior management on the procurement and supply operations capability in terms that support a decision. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better the wider procurement and supply operations agenda is rarely technical. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of empty-shelf inventory management and supervised application. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting this aspect of procurement and supply operations and under-invest in testing it. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the practice within procurement and supply operations sustainable.
