Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
You are responsible for inventory planning for a manufacturing operation where missed material can stop production, but excess inventory ties up cash and increases obsolescence risk. You need a clear approach for deciding where to hold more stock, where to run leaner, and how to make those trade-offs visible to operations and finance.
How do you balance the trade-offs between minimizing inventory holding costs and ensuring high production availability?
