Inventory Management—from Procurement to Replenishment
How It Works
ORDER TRIGGERED
When the customer reorder point is reached, a signal is sent to Optimas from a variety of OptiTech VMI Solutions.
ORDER RECEIVED
Optimas Just-In-Time (JIT) System receives the signal and automatically creates a replenishment order.
ORDER SHIPPED
Optimas labels and packages the order following customer purchasing requirements and then consolidates and ships the order based on a pre-defined schedule.
PARTS DELIVERED
Optimas transports parts using Optimas trucks or common/contract carriers.
INVENTORY REPLENISHED
Either Optimas or the customer delivers parts from the dock to the customer’s designated area—supermarket, area racks or at the point of use.
PROGRAM AUDITED, MONITORED AND OPTIMIZED
To support continuous improvement, Optimas routinely audits bins for correct parts, intact labels, safety, accessibility and optimizes the stock quantities.

Service and Delivery Options
Which parts can we manage?
We’ll take over the management of your parts—whether the parts are sourced through Optimas, customer-directed or customer-owned.
Who orders and replenishes parts?
You can select a full-service or self-managed program. In our full-service program, Optimas delivers and fills the bins at a scheduled time, or has an onsite Optimas team member or in-plant store replenish the inventory. In our self-managed program, Optimas ships parts directly to your dock, and your staff fills the bins.
How are parts deployed?
Parts can be deployed to multiple areas within your plant to ensure maximum efficiency:
Implementation and Reporting
Full Integration
We can provide all the systems and equipment or integrate with what you have today. After deployment, we’ll train you on how to access the JIT System for tracking and reporting. To maximize the impact of your program, we’ll regularly analyze your part consumption and optimize your inventory as needed.
Transparent Data
We believe that transparency is important to any partnership. With our industry-leading standard and customized reports, you’ll gain a thorough understanding of your inventory usage for improved production planning. Such as order status, usage reports, bill of material profile and inventory turns.
Customer Support
Each VMI Program has an Optimas customer service representative who monitors the flow of your transactions and parts to ensure there is zero disruption to your line. For additional support, you can also call our JIT 24-hour hotline.
