trigger growing manufacturers to decide a vendor managed inventory solution will help them move forward,\u201d said Paul.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne main reason OEMs make this transition is because they want to gain better control of their replenishment cycles. This includes improved management of excess inventory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, a lot of time and energy goes into handling inventories and cycle counts, to ensure accurate and optimal levels. This is when having someone else manage that burden ultimately enables you to spend more time building quality products.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What types of manufacturing environments would benefit most from inventory management?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cFrom automotive and aerospace industries to medical and even large retailers, there are many industries which utilize vendor managed inventory programs,\u201d said Pete.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUltimately, VMI programs are most beneficial to OEMs with high SKU counts within their overall bill of materials (BOMs),&#8221; he added. \u201cFurthermore, if you have a large waste build up due to your current inventory management, such as physical waste, time and even space, then vendor managed inventory programs can be a game changer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition, organizations with varied purchasing processes and even no-typical patterns in their demand cycle could see the benefits of implementing a VMI program.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-top:50px;--awb-padding-right:3px;--awb-padding-bottom:30px;--awb-background-color:#91c73e;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:104%;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-5 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\" style=\"--awb-text-color:#ffffff;\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Tech-Enabled Inventory Management Solutions<\/h2>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\" style=\"--awb-text-color:#ffffff;\"><p class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\">OptiTech solutions provides access to customized, real-time reports for greater transparency into your inventory and consumption data.
