The case

You manage inventory for a B2B distributor with 4,000 SKUs. On 15 fast-movers you've had recurring stockouts over 3 months, losing orders from key accounts. Meanwhile the warehouse is full of slow movers tying up cash. The main supplier's lead time is 20 days and demand has grown with variability. The ERP uses fixed reorder points set two years ago. How do you eliminate stockouts on critical items without raising total inventory?

Sei responsabile scorte di un distributore B2B con 4.000 referenze. Su 15 articoli ad alta rotazione hai avuto stockout ricorrenti negli ultimi 3 mesi, perdendo ordini verso clienti importanti. Al tempo stesso il magazzino è pieno di articoli lenti che immobilizzano cassa. Il lead time del fornitore principale è 20 giorni e la domanda è cresciuta ma con variabilità. Il gestionale ha punti di riordino fissi impostati due anni fa. Come elimini le rotture sui prodotti critici senza aumentare lo stock totale?
