SUBTITLE: MOST CONPANIES DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH IT'S COSTING THEM TO HOLD INVENTORY. BUT KNOWING THAT TOTAL COST IS ESSENTIAL TO MAKING THE RIGHT SUPPLY CHAIN DECISIONS.

THE METHODOLOGY PRESENTED HERE CAN HELP MANAGERS ENSURE THAT THEY'RE PAINTING A TRUE PICTURE OF THEIR TOTAL INVENTORY-CARRYING COSTS.
