Stock Optimization
Save time and improve inventory metrics with CRIBWISE Artificial Intelligence feature
Through continued development of data use and functionality, we have created a new feature within the CRIBWISE suite called Stock Optimization. As the name suggests, this Artificial Intelligence function further optimizes stock levels of consumable items, ensuring production and dramatically reducing time needed from purchasing and other stock-responsible personnel.
The targets achieved with CRIBWISE Stock Optimization ensure an equal or better level of optimization than even the most experienced users doing it manually.
How It Works
Stock Optimization uses advance algorithms to track and analyze data, and is based on input values and four key criteria:
Training Period
The initial step needed to teach the system
Service Level
Expressed as a percentage of stock availability at any time, IE 98%
Safety Stock
Additional items on hand to bridge the gap of delivery inconsistencies
Order Frequency
As in ‘how often’ and what is the timing in between orders
CRIBWISE Stock Optimization
Getting Started Is Easy
Current CRIBWISE installations have stock optimization built in, it just needs to be turned on and there are only a few basic criteria to meet:
Items to be measured must be consumable
Must use the CRIBWISE purchase function
A minimum 30-day measurement period with at least 15 picks
That’s it. With a minimal training period and number of items the systems can begin to produce results. For a full implementation, review our five-step CRIBWISE Optimization Process
