Why are you holding this much stock and still stocking out?

The question STELLA is hired to answer. The chart shows who holds the position and where the decision goes when it is not STELLA's to make.

With STELLA in the roleThese parameters no longer match the demand and the lead times you actually have, and here is what changing them costs or releases.

STELLA recomputes parameters, identifies excess and shortage, tracks ageing, detects lead-time drift. Parameter changes, transfers and write-down candidates.

The number STELLA is measured on

Every digital coworker is hired against one primary measure, agreed and baselined before build. The others are read alongside it so the primary cannot be moved at their expense.

Primary measure

Inventory turns

  • Stockout frequency by segment
  • Excess and obsolete value
  • Working capital released at maintained service level
  1. 01

    Working capital released without buying it with service, because the trade-off is on every proposal

  2. 02

    Excess found before it becomes a write-down, with ageing surfaced continuously rather than at year end

  3. 03

    Transfers proposed instead of purchases, where the stock already exists somewhere in the network

  4. 04

    Lead-time drift caught at source, usually the real reason a parameter stopped working

  5. 05

    An inventory position explainable to finance, versioned with the reasoning behind every change

What STELLA does alone, and what stays with your team

STELLA reports to the CFO and Chief Supply Chain Officer. Anything outside the written boundary goes to finance (write-downs), supplier performance or S&OP, with the evidence attached.
