A specialty chemicals manufacturer needed to optimize its inventory of fast-moving products at distribution centers near its end customers. Efficiently managing inventory levels while balancing logistical constraints is critical to meeting customer demand and minimizing excess stock.
Dimensional Strategies Inc. (DSI) developed machine learning models that utilized sales and lead time data to accurately forecast inventory needs at distribution centers. These forecasts were aligned with logistical efficiency constraints, enabling the manufacturer to determine optimal shipping volumes from their manufacturing facilities. The solution, powered by Dynamics 365, ensured that the right inventory was available at the right place at the right time.
