Overview

Comparative analysis optimizes inventory management in a manufacturing company, suggesting improvements for cost efficiency.

Key Points

  • To compare the effectiveness of the Wagner-Whitin and Silver-Meal methods for inventory optimization.
  • Applied dynamic lot sizing models to historical demand data
  • Utilized the Silver-Meal heuristic and Wagner-Whitin algorithm
  • Integrated ETL process for demand analysis
  • Wagner-Whitin method leads to fewer purchase orders
  • Wagner-Whitin method results in lower total inventory costs compared to Silver-Meal
  • Findings provide guidance for production planning and cost efficiency
