| Background:
Manufacturing and retail industry often has a complex supply chain with distributed warehouses, multiple manufacturing units and spread out customer base. Supply chain improvements always involve solutions revolving around process, people and profitability. Our customer, a brass manufacturing and export house in Asia, was dealing with an overwhelming amount of inventory and high capital costs. There was no information available about what's available in the inventory. All the new orders would almost always require new production due to the lack of easy information on inventory. |
