A sufficient amount of garments without unnecessary overflow? It is possible

Many companies that use garments have large overflows. This is often deemed necessary to guarantee enough garments of every type, but in fact also means that a large portion of the garments remain unused. However, garments are often expensive and excess stock puts unnecessary negative pressure on the budget.

It is therefore important to align the garment stock with the user pool as accurately as possible. However, fluctuations in the workforce, transfers between departments and other changes make the demand for garments highly volatile and dynamic. At the same time, companies often work with a predetermined garment set. This can easily create a wedge between the demand and supply of garments, causing some items (or sizes) to be excessively available and others to become scarce.

Laundry services increasingly respond to this by offering a flexible garment set. Garments are increasingly being leased, where the total amount of garments leased out in a certain period is charged to the company. Each period you can indicate which items you want to lease and in what quantity. But how do you keep track of the use, so you can quickly respond to changes in demand?
