I’m a bit confused about the trade-offs though; while excess inventory can prevent downtime, it might also lead to higher holding costs, right?

I practiced a similar question about inventory management last week, and I think having excess stock can really help meet unexpected demand spikes.

I think holding more inventory can also help with economies of scale, but I need to double-check if that applies in all situations.

I remember discussing how excessive inventory can help mitigate risks during supply chain disruptions, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only benefit.
