Spreadsheet models have been instrumental in helping Procter & Gamble (P&G) to set inventory targets. The Global Analytics group of P&G's Business Analysis Solutions organization, an in-house modeling, decision-support, and consultancy group, created global inventory models. The models determine the best inventory levels and yield the required customer-service levels, subject to the characteristics and constraints of a particular supply chain. These spreadsheet models are easy to use and share. Therefore, they have become the standard tool for setting inventory targets at P&G; hundreds of supply chain planners worldwide now use them. They have contributed to inventory reductions of over $350 million and significant intangible benefits.
