Hello,

I recommend Anylogic Software, it's a great tool for simulations and offers a high flexibility.

I have been using Kanban as the best tool for inventory management.

As SCM is concentrating its energy on lowering the inventory levels (super important in current market situation to keep the financial liqudity) I recomend usage of Lean Supply Chain concept. The key tools in this concept are: Flexibility managament (EPEi), Heijunka, Kanban as a part of Master Planning.

The cover for that is Sales&Operations Planning unfortunately not often used by companies.

Specialized Supply Chain tools and established supply chain management techniques make it possible to reduce errors and costs while optimizing the entire supply chain. Real-time updates keeps stakeholders can take action before small issues become much larger. Supply Chain tools support all functions across order processing like sales order processing, order management, order fulfilment etc., supply chain optimization tools can automate most activities in order processing, and overall goal is to optimize your production planning by cutting down on warehousing space, inventory costs and the different procedures for storing excess inventory. Supply Chain Tools can help to manage the day-to-day operations within warehouses., and these solutions provide a wide array of warehouse management capabilities,
