In one embodiment, optimizing inventory includes accessing service level
band sets. Each service level band set is associated with a policy group,
and includes service level bands. Each service level band of a service
level band set has a service level priority with respect to any other
service level bands of the same service level band set. An inventory band
set is determined for each service level band set. Each inventory band
set includes inventory bands, where each inventory band satisfies a
corresponding service level band assuming an unconstrained network. Each
inventory band of an inventory band set has an inventory priority with
respect to any other inventory bands of the same inventory band set. A
feasible supply chain plan that satisfies the inventory band sets is
generated in order of the inventory priorities until a constrained
network is depleted.
