Key Issues

Relying on our extensive experience in the Logistics disciplines; we have identified several issues as being most critical to the  future of many organizations.  The following identifies some of  these issues and the assistance that LRM  can provide in improving current operations.

Inventory Management Systems - An effective inventory management system can result in significant direct and indirect  savings. An organization must maintain, or have immediate access to sufficient purchased and manufactured components  and raw material inventories to ensure smooth production and to compensate for errors in forecasted demands. It also needs to maintain inventory levels, which comply with the company's service requirements and inventory investment policy. Adequate controls  over physical inventory reduce loss from theft and ensure that the company's records correctly reflect transactions. In today's  dynamic business environment, a firm's inventory requirements  must interface with the systems of their suppliers, whether or not  they are sourcing from a distributor or manufacturer and regardless of whether they own or contract with the source.

Just-in-time (JIT) and Quick Response concepts have gained  creditability and popularity at all stages of the distribution  channel. There is even the danger that the customers of  wholesalers, distributors and manufacturers will demand  JIT supports from their suppliers before these suppliers are able to adequately supply it. The impact of JIT and Quick Response is anticipated to include:

• Compressed order cycle time.
• Increased inventory turns for customers.
• Increased sales because high volume items are always in stock.
• Foster closer relationships between wholesaler, distributor, manufacturer and end users.
• Risk of stock outs, or conversely, the risk of higher inventory farther back in the distribution channel.
• Complicate and increase cost of transportation.

The net effect of the end-customer employing JIT concepts is - increased pressures on the manufacturer; wholesaler and distributor's inventory management capabilities.  Likewise, the anticipated increase in service level requirements will also mandate significant changes in the way suppliers do business  (i.e. sales, marketing and operations).
