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! Download a comparison of approaches.

 

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.   Read more>>>
