Automatic Parameter Configuration for Inventory …
Automatic Parameter Configuration for Inventory Management in SAP ERP/APO. David Bucher and Joern Meissner Department of Management Science, Lancaster University Management School, United Kingdom. August 20, 2010. Abstract Companies today generally hold several thousands SKUs (stock-keeping units) in stock. With an ever increasing trend towards highly customized products, the number of SKUs held by companies is likely to increase even more in the future. For each of the SKUs held in stock, a decision has to be made on how to configure each module of the SKU's Inventory system. Doing this for each SKU individually seems to be an unfeasible task, given the large numbers of SKUs held in stock by most companies. Therefore, these companies configure Inventory systems not on a SKU-basis but on a group basis, where the groups are usually determined using an ABC/XYZ analysis. The Configuration using such a rough group basis for several thousand SKUs does not allow for individually customized Inventory systems and therefore might not exploit the implemented Inventory methods in a software package in an optimal way.
