Daily monitoring of inventory is not only boring and messy, it’s time consuming.
- Checking daily reports
- Walking back and forth to the plant
- Requesting pricing from the vendor
- Issuing a purchase order
- Hoping parts will deliver on time
- Following up when they don’t
- Receiving in parts
And then it starts all over again. Can you relate? Wouldn’t you rather have someone else do it for you?
Vendor-managed Inventory could be the answer!
Benefit #1
Cut 1 PO/Year/Item
- With VMI, the process of generating POs occurs once a year, significantly decreasing the daily workload of entering POs. The price never changes regardless of quantity delivered, eliminating pricing request.
Benefit #2
No Daily Monitoring
- The time required for monitoring and managing orders reduces from daily to weekly, saving several hours per week.
Benefit #3
No Receiving In Item – We Stock and Count during Weekly Visits
- Romo drivers stock inventory in your warehouse and monitor inventory, communicating back to the office for the next visits replenishment numbers.
- No handling material and physical receipts of individual orders.
