In addition to controlling transportation costs you need to keep the correct level of inventory
for each product class at the regional warehouse. Target inventory levels can be dependent on
the number of customers for the product and the margin for each product.
For example, keeping a large inventory on-hand for an item that only one customer buys
can lead to a major loss if that customer discontinues buying.
You may also face the problem of having an imbalance of inventory at various points of
distribution, which is costly to rebalance. Our supply chain coaches can show you inventory
and transportation solutions that will have a substantial impact on your profits.
