AI-Powered Inventory Optimization for Wood Product Distribution

Inventory Management through Intelligent Material Matching and Forecasting

Client Overview

A leading US wood product distributor managing over 7,500 item codes and $100 million worth of monthly inventory across their distribution network.

Business Challenge

High inventory holding costs, suboptimal inventory turns, and inaccurate forecasting led to higher inventory carrying costs and inefficiencies in inventory management and capital utilization. Difficulty in identifying similar or duplicate parts further complicated inventory management.

Solution Impact
  • AI-Powered Similar Parts Identification and Scoring: Identified 3,300 material pairs with 100% match and Implemented a sophisticated scoring system to rank material similarities.

  • Dynamic Inventory Parameter Calculation: Developed AI algorithms for real-time calculation of: Reorder Points (ROP) & Safety Stock levels and Adjusted calculations based on changing demand patterns and lead times.

  • Inventory Optimization: Analyzed first consumption patterns from procurement quantities and Identified excess inventory worth USD 710K.
