In today's supply chain management and logistics world, inventory optimization is extremely important to organizations both large and small. While the reasons for it being important are plenty, the basics come down to an organization's need to balance costs of inventory with a demand from customers and finding that right balance. In your answer, be sure to talk about the fact the optimization of inventory isn't an exact science that fits all businesses and talk about your ability to diagnose the right fit with each organization that you could potentially be working with.
