Improving inventory management

Having inventory to cover from all possible problems would increase the inventory level indefinitely in accordance with the standard deviation. If the materials in stock are not used, but kept just to be on the safe side, they are waste. The main objective of this study was to find out, how much inventory is required to cover the requirements, without causing delivery problems towards the end-customers, and how the inventory could be controlled efficiently. Several improvements were made in the controlling principles, and the inventory level was quickly decreased by more than 30 %, and kept on the reached level. The suitability of kanban control was investigated, and it was eventually taken into some use. A great advantage was found in the new procedures in securing the supply. The requests for quotations were diversified, and the faulty basis was corrected. Thus, the inventory surplus would later be avoided, and at the same time, a lot of valuable time was saved from daily routines to further improvement projects.
