Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI)

Vendor Managed Inventory or (VMI) is a process where the vendor creates orders for customers based on demand information that they receive from the customer. The vendor and customer are bound by an agreement which determines inventory levels, fill rates and costs. This arrangement can improve supply chain performance but reducing inventories and eliminating stock-out situations. The goal of Vendor Managed Inventory is to provide a mutually beneficial relationship where both sides will be able to more smoothly and accurately control the availability and flow of goods For more information, please ask us for details with how Forte can implement a program that will work for your specific needs.
