Reducing Cost, Improving Service, Protecting Supply
At EAL, we have the expertise to help businesses optimise inventory, reduce costs, and enhance service levels. Inventory is one of the most critical assets in any supply chain — it ensures continuity during procurement or manufacturing lead times and protects against unplanned demand or supply variations.
However, all inventory levels must be justified and minimised. Inefficient approaches such as “just in case” or “x‑weeks of supply” often lead to excessive investment, poor customer service, higher warehouse costs, and stock obsolescence.
Our consultants focus on establishing clear inventory management policies that balance service requirements with working capital constraints. We define inventory targets through two key elements:
Cycle Stock – covering expected demand during replenishment lead times.
Safety Stock – providing a buffer against unexpected demand and supply fluctuations.
The calculation of these targets requires advanced knowledge of probability and statistics. This is where our team excels — combining analytical methodology with real‑world supply chain experience to deliver inventory strategies that are lean, resilient, and effective.
