DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) will help find the root causes for excess and obsolete inventory and suggest methods to dispose of this inventory instead of trying to find additional costly warehousing or the use of a Third Party Logistics (3PL) Service Provider. This methodology is considered a cost reduction program wherein the cost of goods sold can be reduced to add profit to your organization.
