Inventory Management

Stores Audit & Overhaul
Often the first step to an S.B. Simpson partnership is a Stores audit and overhaul.  We document the items already in stock and prepare recommendations on deletions, additions, substitutions as well as reorganization & storage suggestions.

Bin Inventory Management Service - (Bin Fill)
A member of the SB service team can monitor your "Bin" or "Stores" inventories and trigger the release of replenishment stock.  We then manage your inventory on a predefined schedule.  We can adjust inventory levels to minimize overstock.  Our goal is to assist you in simplifying your ordering process by decreasing your on-hand inventory and reducing your transactional costs.

Bar-Coding & Custom Labelling
To compliment our unique Bin Fill program, we have the ability in-house to produce descriptive custom labelling for your bins and stores locations.  This usually includes a barcode for scanning purposes, a complete description and your part number if required.

VMI – Vendor Managed Inventory
We offer complete vendor managed inventory services, and optional usage reporting to assist in controlling your indirect material spend.  Each program is tailored to your specific needs, achieving significant cost reductions and productivity gains.

Automated Inventory Management
We promote the CribMaster inventory management software and related automated tool dispensing systems.  Please contact your local branch to assist you in determining a custom vending application to meet your needs, and ultimately offer control, accountability and reduced consumption.

Standardization
By monitoring your purchases, our staff can identify multiple purchases of duplicate or substitute items in a single plant or across multiple plants. This reduces redundancies, ensuring uniform costs and quality.

Dedicated Inventories
We often stock critical items that are specific to our customer's needs.  This can reduce your inventory investment and eliminate costly down time.  We will work with you to establish terms specific to your situation and products.
