Quadrant Model

The Quadrant Model helps companies customize how they manage their goods in stock based on different categories. This helps them use their resources well, keep the right amount of inventory, and cut down on costs linked to running out of stock or having too much. When businesses use this model, they can make smart choices that lead to smoother operations and better overall efficiency in how they handle their supply chain.

Let's pretend store called "SmartMart" to make it simpler:

Fast-Selling Stuff (Quadrant 1):        

Example: Everyday things like soap and snacks.

Plan: Keep lots in stock, refill quickly, and send them out efficiently.

Stuff that Sells a Lot but Not Quickly (Quadrant 2):        

Example: Things for special times, like holiday decorations.

Plan: Keep enough for when they're needed, and store them well to save money.

Not So Popular but Sells Quickly (Quadrant 3):        

Example: Tools for specific jobs.

Plan: Keep a good amount in stock, and try to get more people interested.

Not So Popular and Not Selling Quickly (Quadrant 4):        

Example: Rare or special items.

Plan: Keep only a bit in stock, and think about ordering more when needed.

By using this plan, SmartMart can handle each type of product in the best way, saving money and making sure they always have what customers want.
