Inventory Intelligence
Inventory Management
Know what you have, what is committed, what is inbound, and what should happen next.
The operating problem
Inventory becomes expensive when purchasing, job demand and warehouse activity are disconnected. Arvenix is designed to create one view of inventory position, committed demand, open orders and replenishment risk.
Inventory Position
On hand, allocated, available, damaged, returned and inbound inventory by item and location.
Demand Signals
Historical usage, sold backlog, scheduled work, seasonality and recent consumption velocity.
Working Capital
Inventory turns, excess stock, stranded material and cash tied up in inventory.
What the data could reveal
Connected operating data can reveal where execution is being constrained, where cash is tied up, and which actions have the greatest potential financial impact. The example below uses illustrative data.
Example average inventory required as material turns improve while annual material consumption remains constant.
| Item | On hand | Allocated | Available | Open PO | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oak Natural Plank | 83 | 51 | 32 | 40 | Hold |
| Gray Plank | 28 | 24 | 4 | 0 | Order |
| 8 lb Pad | 42 | 14 | 28 | 20 | Hold |
| Walnut Trim | 17 | 6 | 11 | 0 | Review |
