Inventory Management
Almost every organisation that delivers products, or uses products in the delivery of their services, will have inventory in their supply chain. From goods in transit to stock at logistics nodes such as distribution centres, inventory acts as a vital buffer smoothing customer order volume and covering the unexpected. Yet it also ties down investment capital and increases the cost of operations.
Unipart Logistics has the expertise to help companies understand their strategic product flows and options, then choose the most cost effective utilisation of strategic inventory while meeting customer and performance requirements in an ever more demanding world. Whether this is stock held close to manufacture and ready worldwide with long lead times, inventory close to the customer with rapid response or, more likely, a carefully optimised supply network. Carefully aligning the supply chain to customer demand.
Distribution points and transport legs can also be managed and controlled in day to day operations that minimise the inventory necessary. Ensuring it is always available, always on the move, never more than necessary.
