METHOD FOR INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

摘要

PURPOSE:To remove an opportunity loss to be a stockout loss and a practical loss such that a commodity left unsold should be disused or should be sharply reduced at its price next day by adjusting the proper inventory amount of each article to hold it at a fixed value. CONSTITUTION:This inventory management method includes a step S502 for predicting the sales units of each article from optional time up to closing time in every day from a sales unit constitution ratio to be the ratio of the sales units of each article from opening time up to optional time each day to the sales units of the article from the optional time up to closing time, the predicted number of sales units from the opening time up to the closing time, and the number of practically sales units of the article from the opening time up to the optional time and a step S504 for determining the number of predicted units of each article to be the number of stockout of the article from the optional time up to the closing time so as to hold the inverntories of each article at a fixed value. Consequently a practical loss to be disuse due to the generation of the remainders of each article and an opportunity loss due to the stockout of each article can be removed.
