What If You Could Improve Your Bottom Line By 50%?

With good inventory management practices, and the experienced and realistic solutions from BASM, you can easily improve your bottom line by 50%.

Maintaining the RIGHT inventory stocking level is of utmost concern for your manufacturing business. Maintaining raw material and finished inventories at levels which are too low results in lost sales or costly production delays, or too high as to ties up much needed capital and space.

Consider this example,

Adapted from A New Era in Inventory Management for the Distribution Industry by Charles J. Bodenstab: Assume you have $10,000,000 in sales with $1,800,000 in inventory with pre-tax profits of $150,000. Reducing your inventory by 20% (very realistic) will free up $360,000 in cash. That is worth at least $36,000 in reduced borrowing alone. Add another $36,000 savings in reduced obsolescence, insurance, space, taxes and handling and you have improved you profits by nearly 50%.

Moreover, with better stocking, you will improve fill rates to strengthen your competitive position in the marketplace and slash your actual manual time and cost of managing inventory. You may find your turns going from four to seven to ten as you improve your inventory management and improve your fill rate from mid-80 percent to mid-90 percent.

With practical manufacturing resource planning from BASM, you get realistic solutions for effective and profitable inventory management in a fully integrated system.

Inventory software for your manufacturing business can be your biggest asset or your worst nightmare. As a successful manufacturer, you understand that direction and control of your company activities is a key factor in your success. Managing inventory is at the crux of these activities.

You know that no matter what, ineffective handling of your inventory requirements will result in business issues. Too little, and you can’t meet your orders, too much and inventory starts to eat away at your bottom line. You need to ensure you have the right inventory levels at all time, and that the materials and components are bought and sold at the best possible price.

BASM can help you effectively handle inventory management tasks such as:

• Forecasting
• Receiving
• Replenishment
• Inventory Stocking
• Compliance Labeling
• Processing Customer Service Requests
• Lot & Serial Number Tracking
• Bioterrorism Lot Tracking & Reporting
• Reporting
• Advance Ship Notices
• And more!

Unless you control your inventory, it will control you. We can help you better manage your inventory control software, which in turn will allow your business to become more profitable. Let’s face it, 98% accuracy based on the value of inventory is not the same as 98% accuracy of inventory counts. Inventory management is only partially about the dollars; it is mostly about the right item in the right size at the right time and the right cost.
