Why this program matters

  • Without expert inventory management, companies incur excess stock that accounts for up to 25% of unnecessary logistics costs, according to Gartner.

  • Supply shortages generate 10 to 15% in annual lost sales, directly hitting profitability and customer satisfaction.

  • Supply chain managers who fail to optimize risk obsolescence against automated competitors, with job losses projected at 20% in the sector by 2025.

  • Invest in this certification program to secure your inventory flows and advance your professional expertise.

Program

Inventory Management curriculum: 5 modules over 5 days

Module 1 : Advanced Inventory Forecasting: Statistical Modeling and Machine Learning (R, Python software)

Discover expert inventory forecasting techniques using ARIMA models and neural networks, applied to real business data. Participate in hands-on exercises with Python and R to calibrate precise forecasts, analyze seasonal biases and unforeseen events, produce actionable predictive reports for supply chain use, and test robustness on real logistics stockout cases.

Module 2 : Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization: Algorithms and ERP (SAP, Oracle)

Dive into decentralized inventory optimization with algorithms like Wagner-Whitin, integrated into advanced ERPs. Simulate multi-site scenarios to minimize total costs, adjust safety thresholds via Monte Carlo simulations, collaborate in groups on complex flows, and generate optimized replenishment plans ready for deployment in logistics operations.

Module 3 : Managing Uncertain Inventories: ABC-XYZ Methods and Risk Management (Advanced Excel, simulations)

Explore expert ABC-XYZ classifications to prioritize critical inventories, integrate risk management using decision trees and Value at Risk. Apply these methods to real supply chain uncertainty cases, conduct dynamic segmentation workshops, calculate financial impacts of stockouts, and design adaptive buffers directly operational for your team.

Module 4 : AI and IoT Integration in Inventory Management: Advanced Use Cases (TensorFlow, connected sensors)

Integrate AI and IoT for real-time inventory management, with use cases on TensorFlow for automatic anomaly detection. Set up predictive dashboards using logistics sensors, test intelligent replenishment algorithms, analyze massive warehouse data, and deploy functional prototypes to boost your supply chain's professional efficiency.

Module 5 : Global Strategies and Expert Simulations in Inventory Management: Audit and Certification

Synthesize learning through full logistics crisis simulations and audits of real supply chains. Develop a personalized strategic plan for your company, integrate CSR into sustainable inventories, present deliverables in an expert pitch, obtain Qualiopi certification validating advanced skills, and benefit from follow-up for immediate implementation.

Inventory Management training: access and practical arrangements

The Training Inventory Management - Optimizing Multi-Echelon Inventories program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.

Equipment required

For the smooth delivery of the Training Inventory Management - Optimizing Multi-Echelon Inventories program, the following equipment is required:

  • Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
  • Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
  • Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources
  • Post-training access to materials and educational resources

For intra-company training on a site outside Learni, the client commits to providing all required teaching materials (computers, internet, etc.) for the smooth delivery of the program in line with the prerequisites in the communicated program.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Inventory Management training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
