Inventory Consolidation

Inventory consolidation works to simplify your supply chain, while reducing costs and improving efficiency
Product complexity and proliferation reduce the efficiency and effectiveness of a company's overall supply chain. They impact several areas of the organization including: order processing, manufacturing planning and scheduling, purchasing, inventory management, quality, and master data.
Consolidating your vendors can help save you time and money in several ways:
- Reduced warehousing, cost of capital and inventory reduction
- Reduction in logistics costs with less small quantity orders
- Raw material and packaging spend reduction due to consolidation, once again leading to reduced unit cost
- Improved manufacturing efficiency by reducing changeovers, leading to reduced unit cost
- Inventory reduction for both finished goods and raw materials (including packaging)
- Increased forecast accuracy due to an elimination of small unforecastable products
- Increased margins and business profitability due to the reduction in operations costs
- Reduced invoicing and A/P costs
