Why inventory planning matters
Too much stock ties up cash. Too little stock harms service levels and sales. The goal is not maximum stock. It is better stock control.
What good planning looks like
- Sales trend awareness
- Lead time awareness
- Minimum order logic
- Seasonality planning
- Slow-moving stock review
