Inventory Planning
Component Inventory Planning for Ongoing Production
LIMCHIP coordinates component sourcing, inventory and staged deliveries around your production needs. Through shared demand forecasts and agreed replenishment rules, VMI helps you plan supply, manage stock commitments and align shipments with production.
Inventory Management
Our VMI Service
Stock Ownership and Commitments
Agree who owns the stock, when purchase commitments apply and how unused stock is handled.
Forecasts and Stock Targets
Use expected usage and production plans to set stock targets and agree on a review cycle.
Stock and Demand Review
Review stock on hand, quantities shipped and open demand to identify when the stocking plan needs to change.
Replenishment and Staged Delivery
Replenish against agreed stock levels and coordinate release or shipment quantities with production.
Supply Review
LIMCHIP's vendor-managed inventory program supports planned component stocking and delivery.
We review demand forecasts, pricing, supply and stock availability with you to reduce uncertainty in inventory planning, and adjust stocking arrangements to agreed storage and delivery requirements.
Working Together
From Forecast to Scheduled Delivery
Start with selected part numbers and a defined planning period, then review the arrangement as demand develops.
Review Your Demand
Share full part numbers, expected usage, current stock and required delivery dates. Identify critical materials and any approved-source restrictions.
Agree on the Program
Confirm stock targets, ownership, purchase commitments, storage requirements and release rules before material is procured or reserved.
Coordinate Stock and Deliveries
Arrange sourcing and agreed material checks, then coordinate replenishment and shipments against the confirmed schedule.
Review and Adjust
Compare actual usage with the forecast. Agree changes to stock targets, future purchases and outstanding commitments before the next cycle.
Next step
