Abstract: Methods and systems for inventory management are disclosed. In one embodiment, an inventory manager may use an inventory management system to perform an inventory management process. The inventory management process includes generating inventory data points simulating a demand and a supply chain response time and providing an inventory diagram based on the simulated demand and supply chain response time. The inventory management process further includes determining a variability inventory level corresponding to a service level based on the inventory diagram and providing a proper inventory level based on the variability inventory level.

Abstract: Methods and systems for inventory management are disclosed. In one embodiment, an inventory manager may use an inventory management system to perform an inventory management process. The inventory management process includes receiving inventory management data related to a service level, a supply chain response time, and demand, and determining a base inventory based on the supply chain response time the demand. The inventory management process further includes determining a variability inventory based on one or more variations in the supply chain response time and the demand and the service level, and providing a proper inventory level based on consideration of the base inventory and the variability inventory.
