IPI Score 650-699: Top-Tier Inventory Management

An IPI score between 650 and 699 represents top-tier FBA inventory management. At this level, your inventory operation is running near-optimally. Sellers maintaining scores in this range have made inventory health a core business process: they review FBA inventory metrics daily or every few days, they have predictive models for seasonal demand changes, they maintain lean inventory levels without risking stockouts on top sellers, and they make product retirement decisions proactively. To push above 700: the remaining opportunity usually lies in in-stock rate optimization for your highest-velocity products. At this score level, the limiting factor is often not excess inventory (which you are managing well) but brief stockouts on fast movers. Advanced sellers use safety stock calculations based on lead time variability — accounting for supplier delays and FBA receiving times — to eliminate stockouts without carrying excess.
