DMSi to hold Webinar Series on Inventory Management and Inventory Reduction
Starting the week of April 20th, DMSi will be holding a free nine part series on Inventory Management and Inventory Reduction. The goal of this series is to help you use the tools within Agility to analyze your inventory, reduce your dead stock and improve efficiencies in purchasing and warehouse layout. During these tough economic times it is essential to take every step possible to reduce your costs and improve your processes. Taking these steps now can increase your profit margins and efficiency to gain competitive advantage in your markets.
The Webinar Series will consist of the following segments:
Understanding Reorder Points to Improve Fill Rates with Less Inventory
Using SPO’s and ABC Product Classification for Reduced Buyer Workloads and Better Service Levels
Reduce Dead Stock and put Cash in the Bank
BInformed Tackles Slow Moving Inventory
Manage T&E/GMROI for a Better Bottom Line
The Hits Report Improves Stocking Decisions
Layout the Warehouse for Greater Efficiency
Cycle Counting the Right Items at the Right Time and Eliminate the Full Physical
Mobile Solutions & WMS for Yard/Warehouse for Accuracy & Efficiency
Each segment will be between 20-40 minutes with an open forum at the end. For more detailed information and to register to attend these webinars please log in to our Training Calendar.
One of the comments we hear the most from our customers is they really get a lot out of hearing what other customers have done. If you are already using these processes and feel you have a good grip on these subjects please feel free to attend the webinar and help others by sharing your successes with fellow DMSi Software users.
If you have any questions regarding this initiative please call our Agility Support desk or send an email to agilityhelpdesk@dmsi.com.
