摘要:Provided is a statistical inventory management system that optimizes inventoryinvestment using historical usage and/or consumption of an inventory component.Generally, the system determines an target inventory level. Once actual inventory is
below the replenishment level, an additional supply of an inventory component isordered. The target inventory level is determined based at least in part on the usagevariability of the component. In one arrangement, the usage of the component overperiods of time that correspond to a supplier lead-time of that component are utilized.The usage groups generally include several days (or other time periods) of usage dataand typically haw a reduced variance compared to, for example, day-to-day usage. Thesereduced variance usage groups may be utilized to more accurately calculate futureinventory levels for an inventory component. Further, all information is based on actualhistorical usage data as opposed to unsupported forecasts (e.g., sales growth forecasts).
