Out of stock: A strategy for cutting costs and reducing effects

Abstract

One in ten housewives faces an out of stock situation in current conditions. For the retailer, this means an immediate or potential loss in two‐thirds of the cases; for the supplier, the sales wastage could be considerable. This was the message emerging from the recent massively‐attended conference on “Out of Stock” organised jointly by the Institute of Grocery Distribution and Nielsen.
