Ylijäämävarastoja

Ylijäämävarastoja refers to surplus stock or excess inventory held by a company. This can occur for various reasons, such as overproduction, inaccurate demand forecasting, changes in market trends, or the discontinuation of product lines. While holding some buffer stock is often necessary for operational continuity, excessive ylijäämävarastoja can tie up significant capital, increase storage costs, and lead to potential obsolescence or spoilage of goods.

Managing ylijäämävarastoja effectively is a key aspect of inventory management. Strategies to address surplus stock include reducing prices to stimulate sales, bundling items, donating to charities, or even disposing of unsaleable items. Companies often employ inventory management software to track stock levels and identify potential surplus situations early on. The goal is to minimize the amount of ylijäämävarastoja while ensuring sufficient availability of products to meet customer demand. Analyzing the root causes of surplus stock is crucial for improving future procurement and production planning.
