Inventory call-off optimization is the systematic coordination of call-off quantities and timing between supplier and buyer – or between warehouse and production within a single organization. The goal is to maintain supply continuity while keeping holding costs to a minimum. Key parameters include call-off frequency, batch size, and safety stock levels, all derived from demand forecasts and historical consumption data. The approach is especially critical in Just-in-Time contracts and Kanban-managed supplier relationships, where even small misalignments disrupt production flow and increase tied-up capital. Unlike standard reorder-point logic, call-off optimization accounts for the cost structures of both parties and typically depends on shared demand visibility across the supply chain.
