MEIO drives the most success in managing omnichannel inventory with its unique focus on integrating data across the supply chain, accurately forecasting demand and dynamically positioning inventory to reduce costs and improve service levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Differences Between Traditional Inventory Optimization &amp; Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Scope of Demand Forecasting<\/strong><ul><li><em>Traditional<\/em>: Focuses on a single layer of demand such as an individual geographic location.<\/li><\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>MEIO<\/em>: Uses <a href=\"https:\/\/envistacorp.com\/technology\/retail\/demand-planning-forecasting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">multi-level demand forecasting<\/a>, to drive inventory to specific points in the supply chain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inventory Flow &amp; Positioning<\/strong><ul><li><em>Traditional<\/em>: Bases inventory flow on individual location demand, which can lead to suboptimal allocation (e.g., all shorts sent south in winter).<\/li><\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>MEIO<\/em>: Strategically positions inventory across multiple supply chain nodes for cost efficiency and availability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Consideration of Demand Variability<\/strong><ul><li><em>Traditional<\/em>: Maximizes demand by location, often ignoring future demand shifts and increasing costs.<\/li><\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>MEIO<\/em>: Analyzes demand characteristics (stability vs. variability) to determine optimal storage locations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Overall Approach<\/strong><ul><li><em>Traditional<\/em>: <strong>Reactive<\/strong>\u2014responds to immediate, location-based demand.<\/li><\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>MEIO:<\/em> <strong>Proactive<\/strong>\u2014optimises inventory placement <strong>holistically across the supply chain<\/strong> to enhance efficiency and meet customer expectations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization for Omnichannel Retail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>MEIO targets the specific challenge of positioning inventory in the right store, hub location, vendor or distribution center. One of the biggest benefits of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/web.envistacorp.com\/what-multi-echelon-inventory-optimization-can-do-for-retailers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">multi-echelon inventory optimization to retailers<\/a>&nbsp;is increased omnichannel profitability. The main goal of&nbsp;omnichannel fulfilment&nbsp;strategies like MEIO is to maximize margin by reducing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MEIO challenges popular forms of inventory management, showing how they hinder profitability. For example, traditional inventory management may support filling online orders from store inventory, but MEIO reveals the negative impacts of this strategy, such as removing viable inventory for in-store customers. When MEIO is successfully executed, not only do you have the inventory levels you need for ecommerce orders sitting in the correct nodes optimised for cost-effective shipping, but your store associates are enabled to focus on raising customer service levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MEIO offers several other key benefits for omnichannel retailers, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Delivering a consistent brand experience and higher service levels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reducing operating expenses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Achieving higher margins<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increasing productive inventory<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Focusing on assortment and planning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Experiencing top line growth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reducing mark-down risk<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization Strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For retailers, achieving MEIO means understanding that each node of their supply chain has a particular purpose. MEIO strategies should focus on not only what is the most efficient and cost-effective, but also what helps meet and exceed customer service levels. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To successfully achieve multi-echelon inventory optimization, there are four areas of focus that retailers should attend to:&nbsp;inventory visibility, sales and operations planning, omnichannel&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/envistacorp.com\/blog\/assortment-planning-101-a-retailers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">assortment planning<\/a>&nbsp;and product flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Inventory Visibility<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step to achieving multi-echelon inventory visibility is to create and maintain a cohesive and accurate view of stock levels across all channels, whether that be in the brick-and-mortar store, on the desktop website or the mobile app. Maintaining inventory accuracy and visibility across the entire supply chain network will help meet customer needs and optimise service levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sales and Operations Planning<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Leveraging&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/envistacorp.com\/consulting\/supply-chain\/sales-operations-planning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sales and operations planning<\/a>&nbsp;will establish inventory targets across the supply chain cascading to a more granular level. This is especially important with multi-echelon inventory planning because it will ensure that inventory is consistently running through the correct nodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Omnichannel Assortment Planning<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For omnichannel retailers, reducing stock and freeing up capital is key for maximizing margin and reducing costs. Achieve this by identifying a clear direction of how to optimise and localize merchandise across channels, geographies, brands, delivery lead time commitments and more. This will reduce unproductive inventory while maintaining an integrated and consistent brand experience for customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Manage Dynamic Inventory Flow<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What sets MEIO apart is its multi-level demand and inventory planning that goes beyond traditional inventory optimization. For retailers, this means taking a deep dive into data for insight into customer demand. MEIO considers detailed demographics and customer patterns, often leveraging AI and ML, to ensure inventory is flowing through the correct nodes. Achieving dynamic inventory flow will maximize profitability and give you more control over inventory and profit margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implementing a Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization Strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding&nbsp;<strong>why<\/strong>&nbsp;MEIO is most cost-effective for your organisation is just the first step. Next, it\u2019s important to know&nbsp;<strong>how&nbsp;<\/strong>to implement MEIO strategies into your organisation and what challenges you might face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Components and Challenges to Consider<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Artificial intelligence (AI):<\/strong>\u00a0Many supply chain planning software tools can leverage AI tools to enhance processes like demand forecasting and inventory allocation. Consider where you could add AI to your existing software to improve efficiency and accuracy in your inventory optimization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Measuring success:<\/strong>\u00a0Any new initiative should involve key performance indicators (KPIs) that will measure success. To measure the success of multi-echelon inventory optimization in your organisation, consider tracking KPIs like inventory turnover, fill rate, service level, stockout rates, order cycle time and inventory carrying costs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Organizational silos:\u00a0<\/strong>The core value of MEIO is its cross-functional collaboration between echelons. Many organisations that have not been leveraging MEIO will have silos across their organisation. Be prepared to bridge these silos to better accommodate a cross-functional approach to inventory optimization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Data quality and availability:\u00a0<\/strong>Quality data is essential for successful multi-echelon inventory optimization. Inaccurate data can lead to poor inventory decision making. Before you dive into MEIO, do an audit of your data and make sure it is accurate and visible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact enVista\u2019s Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization Experts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Multi-echelon inventory optimization is no simple task and should not be done alone.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/web.envistacorp.com\/hs-fs\/hub\/190312\/file-28999639.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Our Supply chain planning consulting<\/a>&nbsp;can help.
