OCC Inventory Practices Report

Add item to Cart

Moore & Associates | Published 2002 | Hard Copy Report

Because OCC isn’t a manufactured product, the normal rules of economics don’t apply to how mills should manage their recovered paper inventory. This new report from Moore & Associates explains why typical Just In Time inventory practices can actually increase procurement costs and reduce mill profits. This report helps mill buyers better justify that JIT buying doesn’t work in this business, and it quantifies the additional costs incurred by short inventories.

Moore & Associates maintains the largest database of prices for OCC consumed at paperboard mills throughout North America. A confidential summary of data from approximately 91 mills is used as the basis for this analysis. A statistical model develops the correlation between OCC price and days of inventory held.
