Vendor Managed Inventory turbocharges your inventory management and order fulfillment.
Profit from more efficient ordering, reduced inventory and logistics processing costs, better replenishment and demand planning
This document discusses vendor managed inventory (VMI), where a supplier takes responsibility for maintaining a customer's inventory levels. It begins by defining VMI and comparing it to a traditional business model where the customer controls ordering. It then covers the different types of VMI execution, advantages like reduced costs and inventory, and disadvantages like over-reliance on one supplier. The rest of the document details how VMI works through data sharing and replenishment, provides examples of successful VMI like Walmart, and discusses metrics and challenges of VMI arrangements.
The document discusses Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI), where the vendor is responsible for maintaining the customer's inventory levels based on agreed terms. It provides benefits like reduced inventory levels and costs, improved supplier service, and reduced lead times. It also discusses pitfalls like system costs and how to manage them. As an example, it outlines how one company implemented VMI for forklift spare parts, reducing inventory costs, liability, and downtime through discounted pricing, reduced lead times, and zero inventory carrying costs.
Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) is an approach where the manufacturer or vendor monitors and manages the inventory levels at the distributor or retailer. The key aspects of VMI are:
1. The vendor has access to the customer's inventory data and is responsible for maintaining the required inventory levels.
2. It optimizes supply chain performance by pushing decision making responsibility upstream to the vendor.
3. Benefits include lower inventory costs, fewer stockouts, improved information sharing and customer satisfaction.
Vendor managed inventory (VMI) is a process where the vendor creates replenishment orders for their customers based on daily demand information received from the customer, rather than the customer sending purchase orders. The goal of VMI is to align business objectives and streamline supply chain operations by improving inventory turns, service levels, and sales through increased information flow between suppliers and customers. VMI can benefit both customers through reduced inventory and administrative costs and fewer stockouts, and suppliers through increased sales and reduced operating costs and stronger customer relationships. Keys to successful VMI include both trading partners being committed to collaboration, using a technology platform to support VMI processes, and obtaining experienced guidance for implementation.
This document discusses different types of strategic partnering (SP) between suppliers and retailers, including quick response, continuous replenishment, advanced continuous replenishment, and vendor managed inventory. It provides examples of SP implementations between companies like Milliken and department stores, Walmart and suppliers, and Dillard's, JC Penney, and Walmart with their suppliers. The document also outlines advantages and disadvantages of SP, as well as requirements, issues, implementation steps, and examples of both successful and unsuccessful SP arrangements.

WHY USE VMI ?
VMI removes the need for the customers to have significant safety stock. Lower inventories for the customer can lead to significant cost savings.
The customer can make profit from reduced purchasing costs. As the vendor receives data so the customer don’t need to produce purchasing costs ever.
Moreover, the need for purchase order corrections and reconciliation is removed which further reduces purchasing costs.
DUAL BENEFITS (both Supplier and Customer) 1. Less data errors and the overall speed of processing is increased. 2. Having aim to provide better service to the end consumer. 3. Purchase orders are generated on predefined basis. 4. Relation between suppliers and customers are getting strong enough.
Customer Benefits
1. A decrease in stockouts and a decrease in inventory levels. 2. Planning and ordering cost will be decreased. 3. Overall service level is elevated. 4. The customer is more focused in providing great service.
Suppliers Benefits
1. A reduction in customer ordering errors. 2. Promotions can be easily promoted to inventory plans. 3. Customers' point of sell data makes forecasting easier. 4. Philosophy to customer’s stock levels helps to identify priorities.
Comparison between VMI & RMI
Vendor Managed Inventory(VMI)
1. Vendor stocks the resources in suppliers premises. 2. Vendor is solely responsible for the stock availability. 3. VMI focuses on collaboration and share information between trading partners. 4. It is termed as a model of family business.
Retail Managed Inventory (RMI)
1. Supplier stocks the resources in buyer’s premises.2. Retailer is solely responsible for the stock availability. 3. RMI always focused on improving forecasting. 4. It is termed as business model of business.
Vendor managed inventory (VMI) is a supply chain strategy where manufacturers are responsible for maintaining inventory levels at distributors. The manufacturer has access to the distributor's inventory data and generates purchase orders. VMI can reduce costs through lower inventories and smoother demand. Implementation requires agreement on replenishment and data exchange between suppliers and retailers. While VMI provided benefits for companies like Walmart and Procter & Gamble, obstacles to implementation include concerns about information sharing and operational changes required.
VMI is an inventory management strategy where the manufacturer monitors and manages inventory levels at the distributor/retailer. It shifts decision making responsibility upstream to better support integrated supply chain objectives. Typical benefits include lower inventory costs and better planning for manufacturers and fewer stockouts and optimal product mixes for retailers. Key success factors include top management commitment, effective information systems, trust between partners, and competent forecasting abilities.

This document discusses benchmarking logistics performance. It defines benchmarking as measuring performance against best practices to facilitate improvement. There are three types: internal benchmarking within a company; external benchmarking against other companies; and competitive benchmarking against industry peers. The document provides examples of logistics performance metrics that can be benchmarked, such as capacity, utilization, productivity, reliability, and costs. Benchmarking involves gathering performance assessments to develop improvement plans.
Supply chain management involves planning and managing the flow of goods and services from raw materials to end customers. The key objectives are improved customer value and satisfaction to gain a competitive advantage. It has evolved from separate functional silos to integrated internal and external networks. The basic elements are demand forecasting, planning, procurement, production, warehousing, transportation, distribution and returns. Strategic fit among the supply chain design, capabilities and competitive strategy is important for high performance. Challenges to achieving fit include increasing product variety, shorter lifecycles, demanding customers and globalization.
Companies that optimize their inventory reduce inventory items and stock levels, avoid associated carrying costs and obsolescence write-downs. Want to know the best practices to optimize your inventory, check the presentation-
CPFR (Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment) is a business practice that combines the intelligence of multiple trading partners to improve supply chain efficiency and customer demand fulfillment through information sharing, joint forecasting, and coordinated logistics. The goal of CPFR is to transform supply chains from an ineffective "push" system to a demand-driven "pull" system, reducing costs for retailers and manufacturers while increasing sales, inventory levels, and customer service. CPFR provides templates and standards for collaboration between supply chain partners at various stages from planning and forecasting to execution and analysis.
This document discusses managing inventory and cycle inventory in supply chains. It describes how cycle inventory is held to take advantage of economies of scale and reduce costs. Cycle inventory is the average inventory that builds up because supply chain stages purchase in lot sizes larger than customer demand. This adds to the average time products spend in the supply chain. The optimal lot size balances ordering, holding, and transportation costs to minimize total supply chain costs.

This is the research presentation of Simulation based storage policy in a unit load warehouse, to identify optimum storage policy for different inventory scenarios
Transportation plays a key role in supply chain efficiency and responsiveness. Different modes of transportation like ship, truck, rail, air, and pipeline are used to move products from locations of production to locations of consumption. The choice of transportation mode involves tradeoffs between transportation costs, inventory costs, and customer responsiveness. An effective transportation network is tailored based on factors like customer characteristics, product attributes, and infrastructure constraints.
Third party logistics (3PL) providers offer various integrated logistics services for customers. The 3PL industry has evolved from basic transportation and warehousing services to providing value-added services and taking on broader supply chain responsibilities. A 2008 survey found that the top services used were transportation, warehousing, and freight forwarding. While outsourcing provides benefits like cost savings and expertise, concerns include loss of control and security issues. Integrated logistics and green supply chain initiatives were emerging trends impacting the industry.

INTRODUCTION TO THE CONCEPT OF SOURCINGNGANG PEREZ
Emphasis on sourcing is not something new within the business environment. A research institute conducted a study on strategic sourcing for 25 senior operation managers in the United States of America, and concluded that “the one dictum that would still be valid a half-a-century from now is the policy of buy low, sell high”. Strategic sourcing is not necessarily the act of buying low and selling high, rather it looks in to the sustainability of what was bought low and equally the sustainability of what was sold high. Majority of today’s businesses, only look for opportunities to make fast cash without having a second thought on the consequences of their operations in the future. Strategic sourcing is primarily about the first part of this lecture.
Supply chain risk management (SCRM) is "the implementation of strategies to manage both everyday and exceptional risks along the supply chain based on continuous risk assessment with the objective of reducing vulnerability and ensuring continuity".
SCRM attempts to reduce supply chain vulnerability via a coordinated holistic approach, involving all supply chain stakeholders, which identifies and analyses the risk of failure points within the supply chain. Mitigation plans to manage these risks can involve logistics, finance and risk management disciplines; the ultimate goal being to ensure supply chain continuity in the event of a scenario which otherwise have interrupted normal business and thereby profitability.
The document discusses the Just-In-Time (JIT) philosophy and its implementation. It begins by defining JIT as a philosophy of continuous improvement focused on prevention over correction through company-wide quality focus. It then provides details on: the origins and key aspects of JIT; how it differs from traditional production methods through reduced inventory and improved visibility; its implementation across total quality management, production, suppliers, inventory, and human resources; communication techniques used; types of waste addressed; and challenges to implementing JIT. Examples of companies successfully using JIT principles, like Toyota, Dell, and Harley Davidson, are also provided.
The Digital Universe is growing exponentially and will reach 44 zettabytes by 2020. By this time, emerging markets will generate 60% of the Digital Universe, up from 40% in 2013. While consumers generate most of the data, enterprises are responsible for managing and using 85% of it. The Internet of Things is a major driver of growth, with the number of connected devices increasing from 20 billion in 2013 to 32 billion in 2020. This data explosion creates opportunities for companies to develop new business models and gain better insights if they focus on extracting value from high-priority "target-rich" data.

Role of Inventory is very important in any business operations without thinking of its size, structure and market value.
Inventory helps in smooth functioning of the business..
The document discusses the advantages of vendor managed inventory (VMI) and order consignment for a manufacturing company that uses raw materials.
For VMI, it notes better customer service, stabilized purchase orders, reduced data errors, strengthened supplier relationships, and lessened inventory management burden. However, VMI can also be rigid, expensive to set up, and vulnerable to hacking.
Order consignment allows for reduced stock outs, improved cash flow, customized supplies, and less capital tied up in inventory. But it carries risks of high storage costs, supplier dumping of excess stock, and losses for both parties.
Overall, while both approaches have downsides, their benefits in optimizing inventory availability and minimizing costs

8 Ways To Cut Costs Using Vendor Managed InventoryKey Services
Companies in the technology industry are
being asked to do more with less. Department
leaders are expected to identify and implement
ways to reduce costs and extend the life of
capital investments. To that end, parts and
equipment inventory is often the largest single
asset and the largest expense.
Excellent inventory management is expensive,
and the true cost of inventory extends far
beyond the cost of the items and the cost
of managing the inventory.
Take a look at the benefits your company will gain using a third-party vendor for vendor managed inventory.
The document discusses just-in-time (JIT) inventory strategies. It defines JIT as receiving goods only as needed in the production process to reduce inventory costs. JIT consists of JIT purchasing, manufacturing, and distribution. Examples of industries using JIT include fast food restaurants, florists, and computer manufacturers. The benefits of JIT include less space needed for stock, reduced costs, and increased cash flow. Potential disadvantages are risk of lost sales and high supplier dependence.
Marico faced challenges with its growing supply chain including forecast accuracy of only 70% and distributors suffering stock-outs of 30% of SKUs. To address this, Marico implemented an integrated IT system including SAP, APO, BIW, MIDAS and MiNet. This provided real-time stock visibility, automated replenishment, and order generation. The results were operational improvements like reduced inventory and improved forecast accuracy. Going forward, Marico aims to capture retailer data through handheld devices to further strengthen its supply chain.
This document discusses GPA (Gestion Partagée des Approvisionnements) and GMA (Gestion Mutualisée des Approvisionnements), which are supply chain strategies where suppliers take on more inventory management responsibilities for clients. For GPA, suppliers manage parts of a client's procurement and warehouse operations. GMA allows multiple suppliers to combine logistics for a client. The document outlines the processes for GPA and GMA and provides examples of companies using each strategy, including STMicroelectronics implementing GPA and Cadbury/Sara Lee using a GMA multipick solution. Benefits are improved forecasting accuracy and inventory flows, while challenges include costs, time requirements, and organizational changes.
The document discusses key aspects of the expenditure cycle in businesses, including ordering, receiving, and paying for goods and services. It describes common inventory control methods like economic order quantity, materials requirements planning, and just-in-time. The ordering process typically begins with a purchase request followed by generation of a purchase order to select suppliers. Receiving ensures goods are properly checked into inventory. Payment activities process supplier invoices for payment.
Just-in-Time (JIT) manufacturing is a philosophy developed by Toyota to eliminate waste and continuously improve productivity. It aims to reduce inventory costs by producing and delivering only what is needed for production. Taiichi Ohno at Toyota first implemented JIT in 1950. By reducing setup times and minimizing inventory, JIT strives to improve return on investment. General Electric and other companies adopted JIT principles in the 1980s under different names. JIT goals include eliminating disruptions, increasing flexibility and productivity, and delivering what customers want when they want it at lowest cost. Key steps involve introducing optimized production speeds, reducing stock to zero inventory, and designing plants and processes to avoid stoppages.
This presentation deals with Marico's inbound and outbound supply chain. We discuss here the supply chain problems that Marico faced and the remedial steps it took to solve the problems. Use of IT (ERP/SAP solution) and disintermediation in supply chain appear as notable steps Marico undertook to solve its Supply Chain problems.
The document outlines the key phases in an ERP lifecycle implementation process. It begins with pre-evaluation and screening of potential ERP packages. Next, a package is selected and a project plan is created, followed by a gap analysis. Then processes are reengineered and the system is configured. Teams are trained and testing is conducted before going live. Post-implementation, end users are trained and the system is maintained. The lifecycle highlights the stages all organizations go through when implementing an integrated ERP system.
This chapter discusses sourcing decisions in supply chain management. It covers key topics like supplier scoring and assessment, selection methods like auctions and negotiations, designing contracts to improve performance and availability, and procurement processes. Effective sourcing can lower costs through scale, coordination, and flexibility. Contracts must balance incentives between buyers and suppliers to reduce distortion while improving profits. Sourcing analysis and supplier portfolio management can enhance strategic decision making.
