Novartis Overhauls SMNM Inventory System with SAP to Protect Patient Supply
Novartis keeps a resilient, compliant inventory program to support uninterrupted patient supply, holding more than $5b across 35,000+ SKUs in 100+ locations. Previously, slow- and non-moving goods were provisioned through fragmented Excel steps. The company redesigned its SMNM inventory calculations in SAP with Profitability and Performance Management to process large datasets and flag inventory risks by reason code.
