VENDOR MANAGED INVENTORY

Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) programs are one of the most powerful tools for creating a lean supply chain.

Our programs leverage the strengths of lean management based on the Toyota Production System (TPS) we eliminate waste associated with outsourced manufacturing.

 

1.0 programs get beyond internal cost reduction, delivering substantial benefits through a holistic approach reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

 

1.0 solutions center on creating a lean supply chain cascading demand through our clients value creation process reducing cost and shortening delivery times.

 

You will immediately reduce inventory investment and simultaneously increase your inventory turns.

 

By “designing for supply“ you get a reliable delivery mechanism, exceeding customer expectations.

 

Here is a little example for You:

 

Assume Your product has 200 components. Each components must be on hand to start production.  If each of the 200 components has an on-time delivery performance of 99%, the overall product delivery performance would only be 13.4%.  To get to a on-time delivery of let’s say 98% the delivery performance at the component level must be 99.99%.
