VMI Defined

Vendor-Managed Inventory: supplier owns and manages pallet inventory at customer site, replenishing automatically based on usage data and forecast.

Setup Steps

1. Define usage forecast (monthly volume by SKU). 2. Establish min/max inventory levels. 3. Set up EDI/ERP data feed of consumption. 4. Define replenishment trigger thresholds. 5. Document escalation procedures.

Benefits

Reduced stockout risk, lower carrying cost (supplier owns inventory), improved cash flow, simplified accounting (consumption-based billing).

Risks & Mitigations

Risk: supplier mis-forecasts. Mitigation: dual-vendor backup, manual override authority. Risk: inventory shrinkage. Mitigation: locked storage, audit trail.

Best Practices

Quarterly forecast review, monthly inventory reconciliation, semi-annual KPI review, annual contract review.
