Many of the approaches to Inventory Optimization focus on multi-level analysis of demand and supply volatility. This is a very narrow perspective that ignores many business drivers such as market position, market dynamics and maturity, product life cycle, and demand segmentation. These, along with dynamic safety stock calculations, provide a much richer set of capabilities to determine inventory policies and manage inventory levels in the face of volatility and uncertainty. Examples of these deeper forms of analysis will be discussed along with examples of where they have been applied.
