To avoid overstocking with limited storage capacity, I focus on improving inventory management. First, I implement just-in-time (JIT) inventory practices to reduce excess stock, ordering goods only when needed. I use data analytics to track sales trends, ensuring we stock only what’s in demand. I also optimize storage layout by using vertical space and implementing a more efficient shelving system to maximize capacity. Regular stock audits help identify slow-moving items, which can be discounted or cleared out. Finally, I collaborate with suppliers for more frequent, smaller deliveries to maintain a lean inventory and avoid bottlenecks.

The major actions to avoid inventory excess or overstock: 1. Cycle count does not manage only invetory accuracy, but FIFO, slow moving and process to alert the of inventory. 2. Implementation kaban,just in time and milkrun are actions to manage excess. 3. ECN should bem implemented in correct date to avoid excesso or obsolescense. 4. Good relationship with comercial team or with customers to offer some products maybe with the certain disc.ount. 5. Negotiation with supplier to transfer your excess to other customer. 6.Negotiation with customer their demand during certain period. 7. Check if you have diferent version of material that you can transforme in a new versio (example: Ic recorder)

Prioritise inventory segmentation: identify and prioritise fast-moving SKUs or A class SKus, ensuring high turnover rates while maintaining minimal safety stock for slow-moving items. Optimise your storage using ABC analysis to allocate space based on product velocity, aligning inventory levels with actual demand patterns. Integrate automated replenishment systems that leverage real-time data, adjusting orders dynamically. Consider cross-docking methods to bypass storage altogether, expediting the flow of inbound goods directly to outbound shipments, reducing the need for extended storage.

If space is running out, the first thing I’d do is review inventory levels and identify slow-moving or obsolete stock that can be cleared or discounted. Then, I’d tighten up demand forecasting to avoid over-ordering and work with suppliers on smaller, more frequent deliveries. Optimizing the storage layout—like using vertical space or reorganizing zones—can also create extra capacity. For high-demand items, cross-docking can bypass storage altogether. It’s all about being smart with what you store and keeping things moving efficiently.

I. Inventory Management 1. Conduct regular inventory audits. 2. Implement ABC analysis (categorize items by value). 3. Use First-In-First-Out (FIFO) or Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) methods. II. Demand Forecasting 1. Analyze historical sales data. 2. Utilize forecasting software (e.g., SAP, Manhattan Associates). III. Supply Chain Optimization 1. Implement Just-In-Time (JIT) or Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI). 2. Negotiate with suppliers for flexible ordering. IV. Storage Optimization 1. Maximize vertical storage with racking systems. 2. Implement efficient slotting strategies. 3. Use compact storage solutions (e.g., bins, containers). VI. Real-Time Monitoring 1. Track inventory levels. 2. Monitor storage capacity.
