You're struggling to balance inventory for production needs. How do you avoid overstocking or understocking?

It depends on how far out your order forecast goes and the amount of deviation allowed before the orders are locked, as well as your lead time for materials. There are multiple solutions, but you have to have a lot of data before you can drill down and put together a system that works for you.

Indeed, all the fore-mentioned points are true, however all of that is a complete waste if not met with the same energies in organization. I might add making sure you have the right people in the right place, makes it all easier.

Classifique os itens em categorias A, B e C, com base em sua importância e valor.Concentre-se em manter níveis ótimos de estoque para itens da categoria A, que são os mais valiosos e têm maior impacto no negócio.

Use historical trends. Also concentrate on highly demanded items, ensuring a certain buffer level is added to prevent stock-out

Para evitarmos tanto o excesso quanto a falta de estoque deverá estabelecer um mínimo e um máximo para cada matarial... O estoque mínimo é um indicador que corresponde à quantidade mínima de mercadorias que precisam ser mantidas pela empresa, de modo a evitar o desabastecimento e o excesso de produtos estocados. Na prática, quando a empresa atinge essa quantidade de produtos armazenados, é necessário realizar uma nova ordem de compra. Já o "maximo" seria para evitar que a empresa tenha prejuízo ao comprar além doque precisa.

Algo que deu muito certo na minha experiência foi a adoção do sistema de Kanban para produtos semiacabados e produtos finais. Mesmo com uma planta fabril a 450 km de distância entre o centro de distribuição. No meu caso toda a demanda e os processos de compra, produção e transporte foram convertidos em alcance de estoque, tornando então um valor comum para se controlar, ficou mais fácil estabelecer a política de estoque. Por exemplo, o tempo de entrega do fornecedor representa 03 dias de estoque. O processo de compra representa 02 dias de alcance. Assim foi possível estabelecer metas de redução para cada processo.

Only things that you have to worry about if you use this is shipping and sorting due to time constraints. You need now but the metal or extra is not available for the same price. You can increase your normal use parts to prevent shortages and other normal use components.

A mí me resultado útil ya que con esto puedo ajustar las mermas que se dan en el día a día y tener un inventario a tiempo real

Annual inventory audits as well as cyclical stock verifications are imperative to the integrity of an inventory. 1) Ensure on-hand value aligns with accounting value within the acceptable industry variance percentage, demonstrating appropriate management of company funds and assets. 2) Allow for discrepancies to be discovered, corrected, and investigated, if needed (was a customer shorted a quantity, or due a credit that was not issued, etc). 3) Sales and deadlines can be made in confidence knowing inventory accuracy is frequently monitored. Inventory is a large cog in any business’s function. Audits are necessity to preserve all it encompasses.

1. Auditing helps us to keep track of what's on hand must match what's in the system 2. So that we would have a clear understanding of the type of material we have available 3.inorder to achieve production, cost control must be paramount.

By placing order on multiple supplier with staggered delivery will help in the problem of both overstocking and under stocking. This approach also helps in the problem of out stock as chances of failure of multiple firms at any single point of time is minimal. This also helps in increasing the buyer base and thus helps in better competition and getting the product at optimum price. However this approach also shows a less stable buyer and supplier relationship.

Use dynamic pricing strategies to influence demand and manage inventory levels. Employ advanced analytics for deeper insights into inventory performance, trends, and anomalies. Use predictive analytics to foresee potential inventory issues and take preemptive actions.
