Why are you holding this much stock and still stocking out?

These parameters no longer match the demand and the lead times you actually have, and here is what changing them costs or releases.

Business outcomes

  • Working capital released without buying it with service, because the trade-off is on every proposal
  • Excess found before it becomes a write-down, with ageing surfaced continuously rather than at year end
  • Transfers proposed instead of purchases, where the stock already exists somewhere in the network
  • Lead-time drift caught at source, usually the real reason a parameter stopped working
  • An inventory position explainable to finance, versioned with the reasoning behind every change

Measured on

  • Inventory turns
  • Stockout frequency by segment
  • Excess and obsolete value
  • Working capital released at maintained service level

What STELLA does alone, and what stays with your team

STELLA reports to the CFO and Chief Supply Chain Officer. Anything outside the agreed boundary goes to finance (write-downs), supplier performance or S&OP, with the evidence attached.

EscalatesParameter changes → inventory controller approval · Write-downs → finance, because the accounting consequence sits in the close · Supplier lead-time drift → procurement, for the supplier performance conversation · Any change that would move the service level → escalated rather than absorbed
