Yet, in many cases, in the quest to find a quick solution, some management teams may use an elephant gun when a fly swatter would work even better.

Having the right goods in inventory is critical, because an out-of-stock situation can mean a lost sale, or even a lost customer.

The escalating requirements of large customers create painful challenges for those companies still tied to conventional supply-chain processes. "These customers are compelling distributors to adopt value-added, supply-chain services, such as collaborative planning and vendor-managed inventories," says Jeff Pyden, managing director at Georgia-based OmniVue.

Since the introduction of the lean system of continuous improvement manufacturing (CI), the desire has always been for inventory management that minimizes stock on hand, if not fully eliminating it. True to lean principals, by eliminating waste at every turn in the manufacturing process quality is improved while production time and costs are reduced. As one of the "seven wastes" in lean philosophy, inventory proves to be inefficient when a plant maintains more on-hand inventory than is minimally required to produce products in the immediate time frame. Rather than the batched, push-production system where large inventories are maintained for the potential of future sales or supply chain problems...
