If I'm understanding this correctly, ABU is struggling to keep up with the demand because they have so many different diapers, several different sizes, and don't want to sacrifice any. (Which a lot of us appreciate)
So, what if ABU used a rotating schedule for their products? If ABU swapped out their products every 4 or 6 months, they would only have to have on hand 1/2 or 1/3 of their total inventory at any given time.
For example: They currently have 12 different "types" of diapers, so perhaps 6 could be available in winter/spring and the other 6 available in summer/fall. Also, that would allow 6 months to get the next batch(es) ready in case there are delays.
Does this make sense?
