Description
This session explains and demonstrates how dynamic, demand-driven ABC classifications and simple dollar-focused logic can dramatically reduce excess inventories. Participants will discover how to identify inventory reduction potential by part number, supplier, product line, location, and stock type. ABC classifications are not just for cycle counting any more. Case studies will illustrate how to use data in current systems to increase inventory turns, improve cash flow, and avoid obsolescence.

LEARNER OUTCOMES:
    1. Create and use dynamic, forward looking ABC classes.
    2. Rebalance inventories as forecasts and demands change.
    3. Improve supply chain performance and increase inventory turns.
