MANAGEMENT

 
 
 
Inventory Management System (IMS)

Minimatics has managed parts inventories for companies like yours for many years. The function of an IMS is to improve and streamline your manufacturing process by eliminating shortages of essential parts. No more costly emergency purchases, or production downtime, when Minimatics provides your off-the-shelf parts.
Reduce Acquisition cost
Obtain a discount on the cost/item by contracting for an annual quantity.
Receive invoices only as you take delivery of the parts you need.
We will guarantee to deliver your inventory as you need it, and invoice at the contract price as you use the parts.


Key IMS points1
Supply Minimatics with your monthly forecast, extending out 12 months, of material purchases by part number.

Minimatics will set a 1-year fixed price for each forecast item, subject to changes only in cost of raw material.

Issue a 1-year blanket purchase order based on the proposed pricing and your forecast quantities.

You will agree to offer Minimatics obsolete material, and WIP protection up to 1/2 of a year's forecasted purchases.

Minimatics will maintain the customers inventory.

If a forecast item becomes obsolete, or a revision occurs, Minimatics will present the buyer with an inventory of all WIP and/or obsolete parts. The buyer will issue a purchase order for all affected parts.

In the event of cancellation of the agreement, the buyer will receive an inventory of all items and a final purchase order.

We continually build stock...so when a customer calls we can have ready what they need...
