The Inventory Root Cause (IRC) application is a tool which supports continuous process optimization, measurement, and operational exception management surrounding Excess inventory. Inventory represents both a major asset and cost driver of a company. The IRC application provides the analytical support that allows companies to significantly reduce its inventory investment while simultaneously improving fill rate to its Customers.
IRC will answer the question of why there is excess inventory:
» Was the sales forecast too optimistic?
» Was it related to managing the product lifecycle?
» Did the client not purchase what was expected?
» Was the inventory ‘stranded’ when a key Customer stopped buying?
» Was the shipment from the supplier too much, due to load build / container buying issues?

Driving growth is a challenge for many companies in today’s challenging environment! Many companies use promotional programs to increase volumes, drive brand awareness, and acquire new Customers. The desire to drive growth must be balanced against the challenges of operational execution driven by the increased volume and the need to execute profitably.
Promotional excellence starts with easy entry and storage of promotional information. In spite of the large investment in systems in many companies, Promotional Events are often managed in multiple spreadsheets. Execution involves too much manual entry, leading to gaps in execution. Analysis is often exceedingly complex, or not done at all. A quality forecast comes from a blend of system intelligence and business judgment. The impact of volume can be influenced by many factors: Price; promotional mechanism; location in the layout; Customer and competitive actions. In this environment, and with a lack of quality data, the quality of event forecasting is often poor.
Measurement and analysis is the key to improvement. A well designed performance dashboard allows identification of the key drivers of Promotional volume, allowing you to drive increased Promotional volume.
Today’s challenging business environment requires careful attention to both the top line and the bottom line. Promotional spend can be a significant factor in driving profitability. Entry of cost factors along with margin analysis allows you to determine Promotional profitability and to optimize your approach.
