Your warehouse is full of postponed decisions. Every overstocked shelf is a decision someone refused to make. A forecast nobody trusted. A supplier nobody fixed. A service promise nobody costed. The slack went into stock, and the stock became the alibi. This book treats inventory as what it is: frozen judgement, carrying a price you pay in cash you cannot spend anywhere else. See the real trade-off between service and working capital.
Find the weak decisions hiding inside safety stock, service levels, and dashboard numbers that look prudent while they bleed the business at month-end. No stockpile buys your way out. Only the questions a good planner already feels, finally made explicit. Book 04 of the Chain Reaction series. For the manager graded on stock they were never allowed to question.
