Does SEM offer inventory management for large customers?
Yes. Our inventory management process helps our customers forecast demand and order ahead to decrease lead times. We will customize a program to your specific needs, to maintain a steady flow of incoming parts to your company. Our primary system is Kanban, but we’re not limited to that option. We can work with you to create a custom program that fits your business.
True inventory management requires a partnership between customer and supplier. We work to create an ongoing partnership where we continually work with our customers to meet their needs, control costs, and improve quality.
