The ability to monitor the value of specific items or classes of items helps to ensure that inventory policies are effective, and monitoring safety stock inventory can keep the investment as low as possible without unreasonably affecting customer results. In fact, inventory management can be a thankless task\u2014there\u2019s always too much or not enough of something on hand, which is the reason the inventory value action center will prove invaluable to inventory planners and managers. Here\u2019s a look at the KPIs included and how to use them to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/blog\/2019\/06\/metrics-that-matter-inventory-effectiveness\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">monitor inventory management effectivity<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KPIs for Effective Inventory Value Calculation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QAD Action Centers provide analytics to help both managers and users monitor metrics and KPIs. KPI highlights for the Inventory Value Action Center include:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Inventory Value by Item Type<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This chart color-codes safety inventory by whether it is safety stock or safety time inventory. Safety stock is inventory on hand beyond typical requirements purposely kept to avoid stock-outs. Safety time inventory is purposely kept on hand to absorb demand for items with variable or uncertain lead times. In both cases, inventory managers need to be aware of the value of safety inventory because too much can needlessly inflate inventory values while too little may lead to excessive stockouts and unhappy customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Safety Stock and Safety Time Value by Product Line<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When separated<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by product line, the safety value can help planners and managers ensure that they are allocating their safety inventory budget to the most important product lines. It may also show variation in product line planning philosophies, which may require adjustment to keep inventories in line with company strategies and priorities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Inventory Value by Product Family<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like the other product line specific KPIs, this visual shows inventory values by product family, which can help to ensure that the inventory investment is in line with company priorities. It can be especially helpful during product lifecycle planning to ensure that use-up goals are met.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Safety Stock and Safety Time Value by Product Line<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This bar graph shows the value of safety stock and safety time inventory by product line. Each product line is shown in its own column, making it easy to see the investment by product line. The visual makes it easy to determine quickly whether the safety inventory budget is allocated in conformance with company priorities and can quickly point out which, if any, product line policies should be reevaluated.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;8005&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Importance of Effectively Managing Inventory<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since inventory value is so crucial to the success and profitability of every manufacturing company, it pays to keep a close eye on the controllable aspects of inventory. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/next-generation-erp\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QAD Adaptive ERP<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> makes this easy with the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/solutions\/analytics-erp\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inventory Value Action Center<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, helping companies to manage inventory in line with their internal strategies and customer needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which KPIs and metrics are most important to your organization?
