Vendor Managed Inventory - Proven Technology Changing the Game in Industrial Distribution
Monday, January 18, 2010 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. during the Information Technology & Supply Chain Committee Meeting
Presented by Max Buchanan, Director of Sales - Automotive, Heavey Duty & Industrial, Datalliance, Inc.
All Winter Meeting attendees are invited, even if you are not a member of the Information Technology & Supply Chain Committee.
This Session will show how vendor managed inventory (VMI) changes the way you do business with key suppliers to further remove supply chain inefficiencies. Learn how this collaborative approach strengthens business partnerships and truly delivers value for both parties. Buchanan will present the commercial evolution of VMI and showcase results from the bearing industry and others that document why recognized industry leaders have embraced VMI. As the industry prepares for a rebound, this presentation will show how working collaboratively can help suppliers and distributors execute a strategy to maintain service to commercial customers with less inventory and lower administrative costs.
By the end of this session you’ll be asking yourself why your company isn’t doing VMI today.
