The inventory war

Shrinking market share, ever-increasing inventories and accelerating financial losses. A classic problem for many companies today, and for all companies at some point in their lives!

Woodstock Lighting is experiencing this problem, and you're about to witness it for yourself. On December 31st, when most people contact each other to wish each other a happy new year, Adriana, the president, summons her vice-president of operations to urgently implement the measures necessary for the company's survival. Quite an inventory management challenge for this organization!

Setting up the Harmonie team will be the kick-off to a full year's analysis of the root causes of the presence of inventories, wanted and desired... or not, and the implementation of corrective actions to rectify the situation.

In turn, each of the heads of the company's various functions - plant, customer service, finance, sales and marketing, procurement, technical packaging, distribution and logistics, information technology, off-site services, human resources, maintenance, buildings and facilities - will present the Harmonie team with their views on inventory: Why do they need it? Why do they have too much? What can they do to support inventory optimization efforts?

Join Team Harmonie and its passionate members, determined to keep the ship afloat and optimize stocks! Sharpen your weapons, choose your ammunition carefully and prepare yourself psychologically to engage in the inventory war!
