Business Case Studies

Integrating Multiple Data Sources to Analyze and Reduce Inventory Levels

  • This company's business operatinos systems focused on planning service revenues and controlling payroll-related costs. As a result, little attention had been paid to the $1.2 million central inventory required to support the staff at many distributed locations.
