The 18.7\% cost reduction is achieved without resorting to excessive stockout risk: service level declines by only 1.4 percentage points, remaining above 93\% -- a threshold widely considered acceptable for non-safety-critical parts. The carbon footprint reduction of 23.4\% is particularly noteworthy because it is obtained through smarter stocking decisions rather than technology substitution, making it immediately actionable. Figure~\ref{fig:inventory} displays both the absolute values and the Pareto trade-off frontier.

The company achieves an 18.7% cost reduction while maintaining reasonable stockout risk levels. Service levels drop by just 1.4 percentage points and stay above 93%, which most organizations view as acceptable for parts that aren't safety-critical. The 23.4% reduction in carbon footprint stands out because it comes from improved inventory decisions instead of replacing technology, allowing for immediate implementation. Figure~\ref{fig:inventory} shows the actual values along with the Pareto trade-off frontier.
