Why this program matters

Without thorough mastery of stock management, overstocks and stockouts multiply, paralyzing daily operations.
An average company thus loses 25% of its inventory costs on average, or 50 000 € per month in unnecessary capital tie-ups and missed sales.
35% of logistics incidents are directly attributable to these errors, exposing the company to customer penalties and a 10 to 15% loss of market share.
Each quarter without optimization aggravates these risks, threatening profitability and the sustainability of your manager role.
