Opportunistic replenishment: With opportunistic replenishment, the amount of inventory
needed for two to four weeks (based on demand forecast) is moved to picking locations. The
goal of opportunistic replenishment is to increase productivity by minimizing the number of
trips to the reserve. But because it requires moving a larger volume of inventory to picking
locations, it‘s not ideal for warehouses with small pick faces. Opportunistic replenishment
relies on accurate forecasting.
Some warehouses rely on a combination of replenishment methods, either for different
product lines or during peak demand periods.
