Verdeckte Lagerbestandskosten durch Überbestände und Fehlbestände

Definition

Australian inventory specialists highlight that poor inventory visibility across multiple warehouses leads to both overstocking and stockouts, increasing carrying costs and causing missed sales opportunities.[1][3][4] Real-time systems are promoted specifically because they prevent stockouts and overstocking and optimise stock levels.[1][3] In a finished‑goods packaging environment with regional warehouses, manual allocation and static min/max rules often keep 1–2 extra turns of safety stock in slow locations, tying up capital and storage while fast locations still experience stockouts and emergency replenishment. Industry inventory benchmarks commonly estimate excess working capital and lost sales from such inefficiencies in the range of 2–5 % of annual inventory value for firms without integrated inventory management and forecasting (logic extrapolated from the need for real-time multi‑warehouse control and automation in Australian WMS/ERP offerings).[1][3][4][5][8]

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Packaging manufacturers in Australia 🇦🇺 waste schätzungsweise 2–5 % ihres jährlichen Warenwerts durch Überbestände, Notfall-Umverteilungen und entgangene Umsätze. Automation of multi‑warehouse demand forecasting and allocation eliminates this risk.
