Arkieva has designed its Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization (MEIO) module as a comprehensive tool to calculate these safety stock targets. It takes into account demand and lead time variability at each echelon and node and uses a sophisticated algorithm to calculate the targets in a multi-echelon way. It also enables scenarios and allows comparison of these scenarios with each other. This module combines advanced MEI capabilities with the data management, analytics, and reporting engine within the Arkieva Software.
