Inventory Design Optimization and Replenishment (IDOR)
In the Flat World, companies are under pressure to manage their supply networks to serve their customers better. Inadequate end-to-end supply chain visibility and siloed operations result in high operating costs and poor service levels.
To improve customer service levels and reduce inventory costs, Discrete Manufacturing companies need to:
- Improve infrastructure for real-time visibility and decision-making
- Improve visibility into key operational data at outsourced partners and accurately project inventory liabilities
- Preserve working capital while achieving inbound materials orchestration and optimal market-wide coverage
Infosys' IDOR solution reduces manufacturing and logistics costs and complexity with an end-to-end process for managing and optimizing inventory across the extended supply chain. It combines integrated service planning and execution with optimization technology for all inventory forms (materials, WIP, Finished Goods) and locations to improve inventory costs, product availability and fill-rates across all fulfillment tiers and distribution channels.
