Inventory is an ongoing challenge for companies -- especially inventory that's considered outdated and over-stocked. The issue is caused by a series of unfortunate events, including lack of communication, not applying the true cost of inventory, poor end-of-life planning, lack of visibility, and underestimating the financial impact, as well as the misalignment between consumption and forecasting.
