Vendor-Managed Inventory

Plastic Extrusion Vendor-Managed Inventory

Vendor-Managed Inventory – Automated inventory reports are key to the success of our VMI program. The reports are sent bi-weekly via email to everyone on the distribution list as needed. The reports include current PO status, on hand inventory and ship dates.

What is VMI?

Vendor-managed inventory (VMI) is a family of business models in which the buyer of a product (business) provides certain information to a vendor (supply chain) supplier of that product and the supplier takes full responsibility for maintaining an agreed inventory of the material. As a symbiotic relationship, VMI makes it less likely that a business will unintentionally become out of stock of a good and reduces inventory in the supply chain. Drop shipping straight to different locations of multiple private labeled products is also a function of VMI.

Consumer Benefits

Consumers benefit from knowledgeable store staff who are in frequent and familiar contact with manufacturer (vendor) representatives when parts or service are required. Store staff have good knowledge of most product lines offered by the entire range of vendors. They can help the consumer choose from competing products for items most suited to them and offer service support being offered by the store. At the goods’ manufacturing level, VMI helps prevent overflowing warehouses or shortages, as well as costly labor, purchasing and accounting. With VMI, businesses maintain a proper inventory, and optimized inventory leads to easy access and fast processing with reduced labor costs.
