Well articulated Sir Azad jain Below steps also can be considered for inventory optimization: 1) Leveraging Historical Data Analysis to Forecast demand accurately and Predictive Data Analytics to understand trends and optimize stock levels. 2) Optimizing Supplier Relationships through Collaborative Planning with Suppliers to align production schedules and reduce lead times & Vendor-Managed Inventory to ensure the stock levels based on real-time demand. 3) Integrating Demand Forecasting with Inventory Planning & Management and Collaborating with internal teams in the process.
