Men's Brazilian Wax Stories

manage inventory Warehouse: Retrieve the parameters

In this and the next post we will come back on the topic of inventory management. It is a very important part in the management of logistics, and even more so in times of business efficiency research like the present.

In this post we take a broad view of what value could lead to better inventory management company, but as we shall see in the next set the method of administration, and will present a methodology for analyzing cross-sales / stocks.

In the recent past, the frequent failure of attempts to apply the method JIT (Just in Time, that is, with stocks tending to zero) to the reality of small and medium enterprises has led to the revision of the more extremist approaches. The reality has shown instead that the presence of a certain amount of stock in a company is more often than not, despite the drawbacks it entails, useful if not essential. But since cost stocks, you need a good management which ensures the best use.


is understood that any stock that is formed for a purpose other than what comes closely on the specific definition (stock = amount of material waiting for the next application, allowing the user to supply on request without waiting for production or delivery by third party vendor) or search for other benefits not subject to inventory management.


Does not accumulate to accumulate nor to create illusions of economies of scale (not necessarily true that "buy more pay less so). The only justification for the existence of a stock is the synchronization of streams deliveries to those consumption.


Very often the issue of stocks in some companies, however, the dynamics on other fronts and careful optimization of its inputs, it is surrounded by an aura of mystery. From little management "of the presence of so-called" dead "(obsolete components ) and the inevitability of 'missing' ( broken stock ) and recurrent differences inventory. In reality there is nothing mysterious and inevitable really very little, while there is a clear opportunity to regain profitability correcting the operational parameters.


is not rare in fact that the annual amount of supply of material showing close to 50% of turnover, while the average stock of inventories to be around 20% of the same. Under such conditions, savings of only 10% on these values \u200b\u200bcan have a significant, amounting to several points of gross margin business.


Sound management of supplies and stocks may and must be implemented in all companies, regardless of their size, easy to take precautions by, cheap but capable reduce logistics costs.


Good Logistics!
