Inventory availability is the most important aspect of customer service, and the cost of inventory is one of the most important entries on a company\u0027s balance sheet.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERecognition of the balance sheet implications of inventory in supply chain management has launched a variety of industry-wide inventory reduction initiatives. Despite all these initiatives to reduce inventory in the supply chain, inventory levels for most companies have remained the same or increased.
