Managing the Inventory Risk

Infor LN & Baan

Proper inventory management and planning is not for the weak!

Any of these ever happen to you?

  • My supplier can’t provide the raw materials I need when I need them because I waited too long to order.
  • I underestimated how much raw material I had on hand and now my customer’s order is waiting on hold until I can get the parts I need.
  • I couldn’t meet the desired delivery date for my customer’s order, so they took their business somewhere else.
  • I ordered too many raw materials or made too many sub-assemblies because I didn’t have good visibility to my on-hand inventory.

RMCbuild makes inventory management easy. With RMCbuild you can view all raw materials, on-order inventory, work-in-progress, sub-assemblies and finished goods all at once, and have a complete snapshot of your inventory in seconds. Now you know whether or not you can build the number of finished goods required. You can get this with RMCbuild!
