Inventory optimization for product rollover service
For manufacturers of products with short lifecycles, the "build-out or scrap" dilemma can be an expensive, time-consuming proposition - and the difference between profit and loss in a low-margin business. Do you risk incurring additional expenses by building out your existing stock of components for soon-to-be-discontinued products, generating finished goods inventory that likely will be sold at a reduced price? Do you scrap instead? Or do you negotiate with your suppliers to return your current inventory of product-specific components and assemblies to them? Or is the best solution a combination of these approaches?
HP delivers a unique supply chain planning solution that combines the powerful Inventory Optimization for Product Rollover (IOP) tool developed by HP Labs with HP's manufacturing expertise.
The IOP tool is used within HP's own computer product lines to substantially reduce end-of-lifecycle write-off costs. It quickly evaluates multiple build/scrap/return combinations to help you weigh various financial and business options. HP Services consultants work with you to tailor the IOP service to your specific needs. You'll gain insight into, and understanding of, the inventory optimization process. And you'll be able to confidently make the right set of manufacturing and business decisions.
