Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization
Inventory targets are set echelon by echelon, in different systems, by different people. Each level holds buffer against the next without knowing what's already there. The total is too high; the placement is wrong.

Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI), Supplier-Managed Inventory (SMI), and consigned inventory are modeled poorly. Either treated as own-inventory (misstates working capital) or ignored (misses real supply). Partner terms enf…
