Effective Inventory Management

  
  
  
  
  
  

Earlier this week Monica Glenny spoke at the Belvidere Chamber of Commerce Manufacturer's Appreciation Breakfast.

The topic: inventory management. effective inventory management

Based on the discussion and amount of inquiries after the event, I think it's fair to say that inventory is something that is on everyone's mind.

During Business Clarity sessions, effective inventory management is often brought up by clients, and they're issues aren't isolated to just them.

Inventory is an issue that plagues businesses of all sizes and the same questions typically come up:

  • Do we have accurate accounts of all products, materials, or parts?
  • What is the physical location of each inventory item?
  • What is the cost of producing each unit of product or service?
  • Are we ordering appropriate quantities of inventory for future production and sales?
  • Do we have any inventory that has been sitting on the shelves for years?
  • Are we currently holding too much or too little inventory?

These are all questions that can be answered with the correct work flow process and by understanding inventory ratios

Because it is such a common pain point and has been a hot topic around here lately, we have pulled together some white papers that cover different aspects of inventory management.
