Despite their best efforts, CPG companies across the board struggle with mitigating the risk of excess inventory. While many work hard to reduce the possibility of excess inventory, the truth is that almost every CPG company deals with the challenges of managing it at some point. Although it’s inevitable, that doesn’t make the task of minimizing and managing it any easier.
However, just because it’s inevitable doesn’t mean excess inventory is unpredictable. While pinpointing the exact causes can be difficult at times, and some may arise from factors outside a company’s control, the first step to properly managing excess inventory is recognizing what caused it.
Many of the causes of excess inventory fall into one of three categories. In this e-book, we discuss:
- Macro-Environmental Influences
- Operational Risks
- Corporate Strategies
Not only will you learn how each of these leads to excess inventory, with examples and insights from other CPGs, but also how to plan for and manage it when they do.
