At Initiate Action we are Inventory
Process Optimization™ specialists. Our Principal,
Phillip Slater, literally 'wrote the book'
on inventory process optimization and we provide a complete inventory solution including:
-
Review and analysis of your inventory management
systems
-
Training of your team
-
Guidance on inventory management
-
Software to help manage your program, and
-
Implementation assistance to help you achieve your
inventory goals.
Many people seem to believe that
your inventory can be optimized solely by reviewing your existing data. Science
and analytics are often used to blind you from the truth!
The truth is that there are a large number of
factors that influence your inventory. If you do
not address these you cannot truly optimize your inventory and are unlikely to
achieve a lasting result. We call this Inventory Process Optimization™.
True optimization and a lasting solution requires a complete
solution and an understanding of the context
and factors that influence your inventory.
Read our white paper: Why
MRO Inventory Optimization Doesn't Optimize.
Why is this the complete inventory solution?
Simply because other inventory solutions target one technique or another. Some
claim to optimize inventory, some deal with slow moving stock. Our approach
addresses all of the possibilities and has a clever way of targeting which
solutions you should apply to which parts of your inventory. In addition, we provide
consulting, training, guidance and software. Truly a complete solution!

Inventory Process Optimization™ applies the Inventory
Cash Release™ Process to specifically target MRO and
indirect inventory. This is a simple, step-by-step methodology
that enables you to optimize the factors that influence your inventory
levels and significantly reduce your inventory investment
without compromising your risks or availability. As a result
you can achieve a far greater inventory reduction with almost no
risk to your sales or operational capability.
Client Testimonial
Initiate Action not only explains how to reduce inventory, but also how
to change the mindset of all of us that have done nothing but expand our
inventories for years. This philosophy/cultural change is the key to
taking the immediate reductions realized from the 7 Actions and
transforming them into long-term, sustainable lower inventory levels
while still keeping our eyes on our plant reliability needs.
