Vendor managed inventory logistics
Vendor Managed Inventory
The Need of VMI
  • VMI started due to Just-in-time requirements of OEMs, primarily in the automotive segment
  • Responsibility of managing inventory shifted to suppliers
  • Suppliers take ownership of ‘assembly line - ready deliveries’ for being directly put in production
  • Frequency & quantity of deliveries decided by OEMs and communicated to suppliers
  • Suppliers outsource inventory management to logistics service providers
  • Inventory maintained at a location near to the OEM’s manufacturing units
  • OEMs play a very important role in recommending logistics service providers that suit their requirements, to their suppliers
Vendor managed inventory solutions
Benefits of VMI
  • Better Inventory Control
    1. Minimize or better control on inventory levels
    2. Reduced idle inventory and inventory holding costs
    3. Short replenishment lead times
    4. Warehousing and secure inventory management
  • Efficient order-fulfillment
    1. Assured just-in-time deliveries at OEM’s supply lines
    2. Real-time delivery schedules & supplier inventory data
    3. Allows OEMs to maintain flexible production schedules to align it with actual sales – owing to extreme fuel price fluctuations & automotive business volatility
