Inventory
ICRON Inventory Planning and Optimization enables organizations to improve inventory efficiency by combining multi-echelon optimization, uncertainty management, and advanced inventory projections within a unified planning environment, leveraging AI-powered decision intelligence.
Managing inventory efficiently requires balancing service levels, working capital, and operational risk across the entire supply chain. Demand volatility, unreliable suppliers, and production constraints make static inventory policies insufficient.
ICRON Inventory Planning and Optimization provides a customer-centric and data-driven planning environment that enhances efficiency through end-to-end visibility, AI-driven analytics, realistic simulations, and decision intelligence across inventory echelons.
Measurable Business Outcomes
Organizations using ICRON Inventory Planning and Optimization achieve*:
reduction in stock holding costs
improvement toward optimal inventory levels
increase in OTIF delivery performance
reduction in out-of-stock situations
*Typical outcomes reported by customers. Results vary by industry, constraints, and planning horizon.
Key Capabilities That Power ICRON Inventory Planning and Optimization
Multi-echelon inventory optimization
Evaluate and optimize inventory policies across single and multiple echelons while balancing service levels, inventory investment and production and capacity constraints.
Demand and supply uncertainty management
Incorporate demand variability and supply lead-time uncertainty, and apply risk pooling effects by combining multiple demand streams to reduce variability.
AI-driven inventory projections and simulations
Use AI-driven analytics and optimization to generate detailed inventory projections across all SKU levels and locations, validate inventory policies through realistic simulations, and estimate service-level KPIs such as OTIF and fill rate.
Service level and inventory trade-off analysis
Analyze service levels versus inventory cost to support informed and balanced inventory decisions.
End-to-end inventory visibility
Maintain accurate visibility into inventory positions, movements, and interdependencies across the supply chain.
Production and capacity constraint awareness
Incorporate production and capacity constraints into inventory planning to ensure realistic and executable inventory policies.
Scalable and integrated planning environment
Support high scalability and seamless integration with inventory related systems and technologies.
