Inventory Management Print E-mail

Your inventory is likely to be your company’s largest financial asset. How well are you deploying it? IRCG has helped hundreds of distributors improve their return on assets through more effective inventory management and operational practices. Our unique approach is aimed at helping our clients achieve positive results quickly and permanently.

IRCG consultants are experts in the business of distribution. We consider your entire organization, not just the forecasting system, purchasing department or warehouse processes. This approach enables us to quickly identify the fundamental issues, allowing our clients to cure the problem instead of just attacking the symptoms. For example:

  • Sea Of Inventory Image
    We showed a large building products distributor how they were drowning their operational problems in a sea of excess inventory. Although tighter inventory control was their goal, they had to address the underlying problems first to avoid a customer service disaster.
  • At a large electronics distributor, we identified warehouse processes that, while considered a “best practice” in order fulfillment, were destroying their pricing integrity and significantly reducing fill rates.
  • For another client, we identified a subtle but critical bottleneck in their order processing cycle, which their team was able to quickly correct within their existing system and procedures. The result was a 200% reduction in average order cycle time.
