"The IPI measures how efficiently and productively you manage your FBA inventory."
That is straight from the IPI page. Basically, the best way to maximize IPI is to manage your FBA inventory to keep 30 - 45 days in the warehouses. NO more. In most cases, I imagine, this means no huge shipments and no inventory older than 90 days. But keep stuff in stock and set up automated removals of unsellable returns.

Hi @Seller_P4I16eGh2EQkt,
Thank you for reaching out with this question!
I want to highlight a section from the IPI FAQ page that I think will be helpful for you.
What's the best way to improve my IPI score, and what should I prioritize?
While every seller's business is different, we recommend the following general guidelines to manage your inventory performance:
- Improve your 90-day rolling sell-through by maintaining a sell-through that places you in the green (or “good”) range year-round. Go to FBA Inventory to see recommendations on your inventory. You can filter by inventory age ranges or sort the Sell-through column to see products with the lowest sell-through. The two main ways to improve sell-through are to increase sales in relation to your on-hand inventory and to remove inventory that is not selling.
- Reduce your excess inventory. A good guideline to avoid excess inventory is to maintain enough inventory to cover 30 to 60 days of your expected sales. Go to FBA Inventory to see recommended actions on products that are aged or overstock. Use Amazon Outlet to sell your overstock and out-of-season products. On FBA Inventory, select the recommendation filter Create Outlet deal to see products that are eligible for Amazon Outlet. In addition, you can use Multi-Channel Fulfillment to sell your inventory on other sales channels such as your own website.
- Reduce or avoid long-term storage fees by removing inventory before it reaches 365 days in a fulfillment center. You can set up your account to remove aged inventory automatically.
- Fix listing problems in a timely manner. Regularly check your Stranded inventory percentage. Stranded inventory means you have sellable products in an Amazon fulfillment center that don't have an active listing and therefore can't be sold to customers. If you have inventory that is incurring fees without the possibility of sales, this can reduce your IPI score, so it is important to fix listing issues quickly.
I'd also recommend watching this Seller University video for more recommendations as well.
Please let me know if this helps! And of course, if you have any additional questions.
Thanks again,
Jameson
