Inventory Tactics & Opportunities Profitability If inventories are too low, customer service suffers and revenues decline It is not unusual for a company to have both too much and too little inventory. This occurs when inventory is invested in the wrong items 0 Inventory Impact on Profitability Inventory The width of the profitable region varies by industry. Manufacturers tend to be much less sensitive. When inventories are too high, excess carrying charges are incurred. Also, inventories tie up working capital which could be more profitably used elsewhere, and are exposed to shrinkage Too little inventory can starve revenues, too much leads to costs which poison profits Operating Cost Reduction Terminating leases for unnecessary storage facilities Elimination of operating costs for unnecessary storage facilities Improved receiving and material handling efficiencies Inventory Reduction Inventory right-sizing often yields 10-40% reduction Inventory consolidation reduces safety stock, by the square root of n rule Disposition of slow-moving and obsolete inventory Procurement Cost Reduction Typical savings range from 3-10% of spend Improved volume leverage and fact-based negotiation Value engineering; product rationalization Fixed Asset Reduction Closing and disposition of unnecessary storage facilities 21 Price Realization Tactics & Opportunities Overall Objective Capture money left on the table through price leaks or under-optimized prices Move Distributors toward a value based pricing approach Approach Data driven approach to identify pricing outliers from historical pricing data Utilize value based pricing strategy to identify the best price for each transaction Pricing Architecture for the Best Price On Every Transaction *Fundamental Price Drivers Product Price Sensitivity Customer Price Sensitivity Market Price Sensitivity Customer Sensitivity 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 Product Sensitivity Secondary Price Drivers Order Size *Implementation of fundamental price drivers are typically Competitive Situation worth 2%-4% in margin lift.
