Vendor Managed Inventory

Have you been considering vendor managed inventory? Are you tired of tracking your own inventory? Put off by having to task your employees with counting – by hand – thousands of essential parts?

As a trusted and timely provider of high-quality class “C” components, we work tirelessly to provide our customers with the parts they need on time, every time.

Many businesses, when searching for a provider of vendor managed inventory, overlook key factors that contribute to a successful implementation. Often, they narrow their focus, looking for a single quality that they feel best addresses their needs. However, as VMI is a holistic service – one that aims to address all of your inventory issues – it is essential to weigh all of the benefits of each provider. Product catalogs, manufacturers, shipping locations, vendors and certifications are all important when attempting to implement a successful, long-term VMI solution. In this post, we're going to look at why – overall – ASF Components is your best choice for vendor managed inventory.

Managing your class C components shouldn't be difficult. The process sounds easy enough for everyone involved. Order them, pack them up, ship them out and cut a check. Piece of cake, right? Not always. At least If you do it all in-house. There are countless reasons to hand these duties to a vendor-managed inventory (VMI) specialist.

If you run an operation of any size, from a small local manufacturing plant to a global distributor, it is essential that you stay on top of your inventory levels. In many cases, business owners opt to maintain their inventory in-house, whether they manage it themselves or delegate it to another employee. This course of action, however, can cause difficulties and can slow your operation down by burdening your employees with time-consuming, non-productive tasks. In today's post, we're going to talk about how vendor managed inventory from ASF Components can optimize your processes, reduce costs, and save your sanity.

When investigating vendor managed inventory programs, some of the best questions that you can ask are, "Does this program save me time?" and "Does this program save me money?" If the answer to both of these questions isn't a resounding yes, then you should take that as a sign that you need to look at other providers. While it's great to hone in and focus on finding a provider that addresses one solitary issue that you are experiencing, it is more important to think forward, plan, and identify what your operation will need tomorrow, next month, and next year. In today's post, we're going to look at how VMI from ASF Components can help you save time, reduce costs, and plan for the future.
