Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) shifts the work of managing your C-class parts to Bamal. Programs range from small to large. Each one is tailored to the plant, whether it is one facility or several. Bamal handles buying, inspection, storage, and delivery to the line.
Dock-to-stock and milk runs. Material is delivered to the dock, on one stop or several, timed with your planners.
In-plant store. Bamal sets up a secure store inside the plant. Parts stay on consignment. A Bamal person manages the levels and takes parts to the line. You are invoiced when parts leave the store. EDI can handle shipping, receiving, and invoicing.
Single and multi-bin systems. Bins are placed to fit the plant and cut the space needed at the line. Backup stock is at a Bamal distribution hub. Scanning uses barcodes or RFID. Your production lines will never run out of stock.
Other benefits of VMI include:
- Increased reporting capabilities, down to the using location
- Bin comparison
- Increased visibility to inventory turns
- Detailed usage reports
- BOM analysis
- Early obsolescence identification and prevention
