01 Jul Inventory Management Metrics – July’s Free MBTN Tutorial

This month’s free access to an MBTN tutorial is Inventory Management 2: Inventory Metrics. Retailers and manufacturers typically have a significant portion of their assets tied up in inventory (finished goods, sub-assemblies, and parts). Our Inventory 2 module provides an introduction to the fundamentals of inventory management and covers the following topics:

• Calculating Demand
• Simple Forecasting
• Average Aggregate Inventory Value
• Weeks Supply
• Inventory Turnover (Inventory Turns)
• Bullwhip or Whiplash Effect
• Impact of Inventory Management on Financial Metrics

Whether you’re a student, a professional, or an entrepreneur, mastering inventory management techniques can greatly improve a company’s return on assets (by lowering inventory levels) as well as customer satisfaction (by reducing stockouts). It is a challenging balance, and this tutorial will help you think more deeply about the importance of active inventory management.
