Optimizing Inventory Replenishment

Business Problem
I use Min Max planning for Inventory Replenishment.
Some of my parts have long lead times varying from 4
weeks to 8 weeks, while others have short lead times
varying from 1 to 2 weeks. I find that Im sometimes out
of stock on the parts with high lead time, while Im
carrying too much inventory of the parts with low lead
time. How do I optimize my replenishment?
