Rob McCullagh, Strategic Account Director will be presenting on “Reduce Inventory Levels by Up to 50% and Optimize Reorder Points with Smart Inventory Management”

Date: Thursday, 14th February, 5:30 PM – 6:10 PM | Session ID: 2014A
Location: Moscone South, Level 2 | San Francisco Ballroom 214

Balancing inventory holding levels and service levels is never an easy task. Further, few organisations have the skills, tools or bandwidth to achieve a bird’s-eye view of which stock items are fast or slow moving and to continually readjust reorder points based on lead times and distribution frequencies. Smart Inventory Management is a visual, interactive, integrated, and preconfigured analytics-based inventory management capability. It will help you to identify potentially obsolete stock and suggest more optimal reorder points for frequently issued stock items. It also provides a detailed profile and understanding of both the levels of inventory you hold as well as the quality of data maintained.

Optimising MRO Stock Levels with IBM Analytics and Smart Inventory Management

Balancing inventory holding levels and service levels is never an easy task. Further, few organisations have the skills, tools or bandwidth to achieve a bird’s eye view of which stock items are fast or slow moving and to continually readjust reorder points based on lead times and distribution frequencies. Presidion Smart Inventory Management is a visual, interactive, integrated, and preconfigured Analytics based Inventory Management capability. It will help you to identify potentially obsolete stock and suggest more optimal reorder points for frequently issued stock items. It also provides a detailed profile and understanding of both the levels of inventory you hold as well as the quality of data maintained. Linking your IoT to a practical application like Predictive Maintenance will drive significant ROI and put a clear structure on your IoT roadmap and measurement of success. Predictive Maintenance (PdM): the use of Advanced Predictive Analytics and multiple historic data sources, aims to predict when and where an asset will fail (and why). This capability offers manufacturers the opportunity to reduce operating costs (10-25%) and product development costs (25%).
