Ultriva Inventory Optimization Tool (IOT)
Ultriva’s IOT can help you identify whether you are a
candidate to implement electronic Kanban.
Review your history to figure out whether pull
replenishment is right for you.
If you are, see how much inventory reduction you will get if
you implement pull.

3. Executive Overview of Ultriva IOA
• Ultriva’s Inventory Optimization Assessment (IOA) is
structured virtual computer modeling and simulation
engagement performed by Ultriva inventory
management experts using our patent-pending
Inventory Optimization Tool (IOT).
• Ultriva has successfully completed IOAs for over 100
leading manufacturing firms worldwide.
• Every IOA Ultriva has performed has revealed
significant inventory savings opportunities.

4. Minimal Customer Support Produces Maximum Value
• All we need from you is 6 – 12 months of historical inventory data in simple tab
delimited file format. Ultriva does the rest.
• Ultriva inventory management experts will upload your data to the IOT.
• The IOT will perform the following analysis tasks:
– Back simulate and then graphically display historical consumption / replenishment
patterns for each part and supplier
– Calculate the material replenishment loop size for each part and then superimpose the
recommended replenishment pattern over the actual historical replenishment pattern
for the same period
– Compare historical consumption / replenishment patterns to Ultriva’s recommended
replenishment patterns
– Calculate the impact (both inventory dollars and inventory turns) of Ultriva’s
recommended replenishment methods on the parts in the IOA study
– Produce both summary and detail level findings for all parts in the IOA study
• Ultriva will sign an NDA with your firm.

8. Ultriva IOA Deliverables
• Analyze and graphically display your historical consumption
and replenishment patterns by item and supplier
• Identify candidate items for pull-based replenishment
• Determine optimal replenishment cycle (a.k.a. loop size) for
each item
• Compare and contrast recommended replenishment cycle to
historical replenishment pattern for each item
• Compute inventory savings by item and supplier
• Produce and deliver a web-based ‘IOA Management Outbrief
Report’ detailing inventory savings opportunities
• Provide soft copies of all IOA deliverables

9. Why your firm should seriously consider this offer!
• The IOA provides actionable business intelligence on current-
state inventory performance.
• The IOA provides supporting data to help build the business
case for change in current-state inventory replenishment
methods.
• The IOA WILL UNCOVER SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITIES FOR
INVENTORY SAVINGS.
• Implementation of IOA recommendations will generate hard
dollar savings for your firm.
• Similar IOA engagements would cost you thousands of dollars
and take weeks to complete.
