What are IKEA’s best-kept secrets behind its smooth back-end operations and efficient supply chain processes?
The world’s largest home furnishing retailer has 298 stores in 37 countries. It ranks Number 41 on Forbes’ esteemed
World’s Most Valuable Brands list (https://www.forbes.com/companies/ikea/), and took in 35.5 billion in sales in 2013. IKEA
has certainly come a long way in its 60 years of business since its 1943 founding in Sweden.
This organisation impresses not just its consumers with affordable, high quality furniture, but also competitors and
companies around the world – especially with its unique supply chain and inventory management techniques.
Each IKEA store is huge and holds more than 9,500 products! How in the world does IKEA offer so much at such a low
price while always being able to keep items in stock?

3/2/2021 How Does IKEA’s Inventory Management Supply Chain Strategy Really Work? - Supply Chain 24/7

IKEA’s Vision
To start off, IKEA has a clear vision (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jn2_nZrivQ) – to provide well designed, functional
home furnishings at prices so low that as many people as possible will be able to afford them. Its various functions (supply
chain operations and inventory management included) work together to support its distinctive value proposition.
IKEA is distinctive by committing to a catalog of products that will be stocked for a year at a guaranteed price.
Cost Savings In Furniture Design
IKEA designs unique products that incur low manufacturing costs while meeting strict requirements for function, efficient
distribution, quality, and impact on the environment.
According to a case study produced by The Times of London (http://businesscasestudies.co.uk/ikea/building-a-sustainable-
supply-chain/the-primary-sector.html#axzz2uijcsMD8), more than 50% of the products are made from sustainable or
recycled products. IKEA seeks to use as few materials as possible to make the furniture, without compromising on quality
or durability. By using fewer materials, the company cuts down on transportation costs because it uses less fuel and
manpower to receive materials and ship products.
Sustainable Relationships With Suppliers
A key part of IKEA’s success is credited to its communications and relationship management with materials suppliers and
manufacturers to get good prices on what it procures.

(http://www.ikea.com/ms/en_US/this-is-ikea/company-information/index.html)
IKEA is a very high volume retailer – it buys products from more than 1,800 suppliers in 50 countries, and uses 42 trading
service offices around the world to manage supplier relationships. They negotiate prices with suppliers, check the quality of
materials, and keep an eye on social and working conditions.
Although Ikea fosters competition among suppliers to ensure they attain the best prices and materials, it believes in making
long-term business relationships with them by signing long-term contracts, thus lowering prices of products further.
For example, IKEA has a code of conduct called the IKEA Way of Purchasing Home Furnishing Products (IWAY),
containing minimum rules and guidelines that help manufacturers reduce the impact of their activities on the environment.
The requirements within IWAY raise standards by developing sustainable business activities and leaving positive impacts
on the business environment in which the suppliers operate.

3/2/2021 How Does IKEA’s Inventory Management Supply Chain Strategy Really Work? - Supply Chain 24/7

This also underlines IKEA’s commitment to the ‘low price but not at any price’ vision. Although IKEA wants its customers to
enjoy low prices, this should not happen at the expense of its business principles.
Do-It-Yourself Assembly Lowers Packaging Costs
Most IKEA furniture is designed and sold in pieces for the customer to assemble. The pieces are placed into convenient
and efficient, flat packages for low-cost transport because they take up less room in trucks, maximizing the number of
products that can be shipped.
The unique packaging also take up less space in warehouse bins and reserve racks, allowing for more room to stock
additional items for order fulfillment. What the company saves in fuel and stocking costs is passed on to customers.
Combining Retail And Warehouse Processes
Every IKEA store has a warehouse on the premises. On the main showroom floor, customers can browse for items. They
then obtain the products themselves from the floor pallet location with racking as high as the typical person could reach,
where furniture can be purchased and taken home. Additional products are stored in reserve racks above these locations.
Inventory is let down to the lower slots at night (forklifts and pallet jacks are not used during store hours for safety reasons).
About one third of the lower level is comprised of a warehouse off limits to customers. This space contains items too bulky
for customers to load without help from the staff. Since IKEA wants as much self-service as possible, it works to minimize
the number of items in this bulk storage area.
Cost-Per-Touch Inventory Tactic
Having customers select the furniture and retrieve the packages themselves is an inventory management tactic called
‘cost-per-touch’. As a rule of thumb, companies find that the more hands touch the product, the more costs are associated
with it.
For example, imagine when someone selects a piece of furniture to buy. The item is then ordered, shipped from the
manufacturer, moved from the delivery truck into storage in the warehouse, moved from the warehouse to the customer’s
vehicle or delivered by the furniture retailer to the customer’s home. Every time the product is shipped, moved, and loaded,
it costs money. The fewer times someone moves or touches the item, the fewer costs are associated with it. IKEA saves
costs with this guiding principle to minimize touches because it doesn’t have to pay the customer to retrieve the furniture
and take it home.

In-Store Logistics
IKEA also relies on something rare and unique concerning its logistical management of reordering products – it employs in-
store logistics personnel to handle inventory management at its stores. According to the Steve Banker, ARC Advisory
Group (http://www.arcweb.com/analysts/pages/Steve-Banker.aspx) and Logistics Viewpoints
(http://logisticsviewpoints.com/2009/11/05/in-store-logistics-at-ikea/) (professionals and consultants on logistical and supply
chain operations), there is an in-store logistics manager responsible for the ordering process and a store goods manager
responsible for material handling logistics at all IKEA stores.
https://www.supplychain247.com/article/how_does_ikeas_inventory_management_supply_chain_strategy_work 4/10
3/2/2021 How Does IKEA’s Inventory Management Supply Chain Strategy Really Work? - Supply Chain 24/7

The duties of the logistics personnel are to monitor and record deliveries, carefully check
delivery notices, sort and separate the goods, and get them off to the correct sales area or
designated overstock locations. Overall, they ensure an efficient flow of goods within IKEA
stores, which is essential to maintaining high sales and enhancing customer loyalty.
Maximum/Minimum Settings As Proprietary System
The in-store logistics managers use an inventory replenishment management process
developed by IKEA called ‘minimum/maximum settings’ to respond to store-level inventory
reorder points and reorder products.
Minimum settings: The minimum amount of products available before reordering.
Maximum settings: The maximum amount of a particular product to order at one time.
Due to the fact that all IKEA inventory is only stocked at night after opening hours, the logic
of its min/max settings is based on the number of products that will be sold from the reserve
stack of bin in a single day or two-day period. The process meets customer demand while “There is an in-store

shipping and from distribution centres through warehouse management system data. From Group & Logistics Viewpoints
these data, they can forecast sales for the next couple of days and order in the suitable
amount of products to meet that demand.
If the sales data doesn’t match the projected number of items that should have been sold that day, the logistics manager
goes directly to the pallet and bin to manually count the product stock.
IKEA believes its process and system allows for the right goods to be in the store with greater certainty, and at a lower
cost, than the traditional retail forecasting and replenishment process.
Usage Of High-Flow & Low-Flow Warehouse Facilities
IKEA’s store operations are supported by high-flow facilities (focused on the 20% of SKUs that account for 80% of the
volume) and low-flow warehouses that are more manual. In its high-flow warehouses, IKEA employs automatic storage and
retrieval systems to drive down its costs-per-touch. Products stocked in a low-flow facility are not in high demand, and
operations rely on manual processes since workers will not be shifting and moving inventory around too much.
These strategies have made IKEA the world’s most successful furniture retailer with low operating costs and high product
demand. This allows the company to stay competitive in the industry as it continually seeks more advanced methods to
streamline supply chain management.
IKEA has a clear vision supported by complementary cross-functional logic. This not only differentiates IKEA from its peers,
but also provides it with a competitive advantage that is difficult to duplicate at other organisations.
While it may be hard for other organisations to copy IKEA’s successful formula with stock management and order
fulfillment, IKEA’s supply chain strategies pushes against boundaries. This will hopefully inspire you to develop your
company’s inventory strategies suited for your company’s particular operations.
For instance, the TradeGecko inventory management system (http://tradegecko.com/product-tour/inventory-management-
system/) may be the perfect answer for small to medium retailers or wholesalers. TradeGecko inventory management
software is integrated with other software solutions such as the Shopify ecommerce platform (https://www.shopify.com/)
and Xero accounting system (https://www.xero.com/us/) to make back-end operations even better for your business.
To end off, IKEA sets an optimistic trend where more companies will move away from traditional and out-dated supply
chain management strategies used for generations to seek creative and better-suited solutions to handle inventory.

Removing Barriers to Inventory Optimization

Supply chain executives worldwide face an ongoing imperative: improve customer service levels.

https://www.supplychain247.com/article/how_does_ikeas_inventory_management_supply_chain_strategy_work 5/10
3/2/2021 How Does IKEA’s Inventory Management Supply Chain Strategy Really Work? - Supply Chain 24/7

They also face an ongoing risk: don’t create excess or

obsolete inventory at the same time. It’s a double-edged
sword for supply chain performance.
Because of variability in demand and supply, increasing
customer service levels can lead to higher levels of safety
stock. Improving cash flow by indiscriminately reducing
working capital dollars can result in slashing the wrong
inventory, resulting in lower customer service levels.
While many leading supply chain teams have conducted
inventory optimization (IO) initiatives to raise service
levels while lowering inventory cost, others worry that they
won’t be successful in the effort.
Two common barriers that can prevent an organization (/paper/removing_barriers_to_inventory_optimization/logility)
from reaping inventory optimization benefits are:
Technology Barrier: IO success can be undermined by reliance on limited tools (such as modules built into, or bolted
onto, existing ERP systems) or inadequate ones (e.g. error-prone, hard-to maintain spreadsheets). These tools are
unable to effectively analyze and model the required amount of inventory.
Complexity Barrier: An internal perception that understanding and implementing proven mathematical tools and
business processes in order to streamline the creation of optimal inventory policies and targets is too difficult for the
team to take on.

Overcoming these barriers is easier than you think.

Companies that embrace multi-echelon inventory optimization
(/paper/removing_barriers_to_inventory_optimization/Logility) (MEIO) achieve, on average, a 28% increase in inventory
turns.
