What is Blue Yonder Slow Mover Forecasting and Replenishment?

Slow-mover logic is built for intermittent demand. Instead of standard time-series, it uses approaches suited to sparse sales (e. g., Croston-style, Bayesian pooling), blends signals across stores/clusters, and considers substitutes to avoid false stockouts. Policies emphasize longer review cycles, economic order quantities, and service targets that balance availability vs. carrying cost. Alerts trigger rationalization or vendor negotiation when long-tail items underperform. Net effect: fewer dead-stock traps, better parts/long-tail service, and lower working capital.
