In this comprehensive tutorial, we'll create a Python-based system to optimise inventory decisions for supply chain operations for retail.
🎯 What You'll Learn:
✅ Build a complete inventory simulation model from scratch
✅ Visualise inventory levels with professional charts
✅ Understand the impact of lead time on stockouts
✅ Calculate the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)
✅ Compare different replenishment strategies
✅ Discover why timing beats quantity in inventory management
📈 Real Business Impact:
This model helps retail chains minimise three critical costs:
Ordering costs (administrative, system maintenance)
Holding costs (storage, insurance, capital)
Shortage costs (lost sales, customer dissatisfaction)
