If you've been considering vendor managed inventory, it is critical that you thoroughly investigate your provider's distribution capabilities. As you will be relying on the provider to maintain your stock levels, you must be certain – absolutely certain – that they can deliver the critical parts and components you need. More than that, they must be responsive, on time and – perhaps most importantly – capable of performing thorough quality tests on the parts that you request. In today's post, we're going to look at how ASF Components can help you maintain a massive inventory of high-quality parts with our innovative VMI programs.

When it comes to keeping track of your operation’s inventory, there’s no easier – or more accurate – way than vendor managed inventory (VMI). Better accuracy, less labor, and increased consistency are only a handful of the advantages that come with having a company like ASF Components manage your inventory. VMI allows you – and your employees – to focus on more profitable tasks all while being confident in your operation’s stock levels. ASF Components utilizes a data-driven approach, aiming to streamline the entire stocking process so that you can be confident in your stock and, more importantly, confident in your lead times. In this post, we’re going to cover a number of benefits that our VMI programs have to offer.

When it comes to managing your operation’s class “C” components, there’s very little room for error. You need to be confident that your supplier will provide you with the parts that you need, when you need them. You also need to be certain that you’ll receive the correct quantities. Most of all, you have to be sure that your supplier will provide high-quality, reliable parts. If any one of these conditions isn’t met, it’s a recipe for disaster.

If you’ve ever encountered difficulty managing your class “C” components, you owe it to yourself to investigate the benefits of vendor managed inventory from ASF Components. We believe that inventory should be a simple process. If you need a part, you should find that part waiting for you. While this is always the ideal that most operations strive for, it’s not always reality. The logistics of performing counts, placing reorders, stocking new arrivals, and organizing components can be tricky and – more importantly – incredibly burdensome. Our goal is to alleviate that burden and allow your employees to focus on more profitable tasks.

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.
