Inventory and stock management

The days are thankfully past when a client could tell a consultant ‘I like to see high inventory – it's like savings in a bank’.

Few business people now want any more inventory than they need. The question is: ‘How much do they need?’

Burman consultants will assist you to grip this thorny question and find a reliable and durable system which will determine at any moment how much is needed and how to make sure that that is all you have.

Reconciling customer service with cost is perhaps the most central calculation in business. A competitive price, a surprisingly good service, and a profit arising from providing it is a common aim. Having the right inventory, and no more than the right inventory, is a major element of success.

Burman can map your inventory profile against that which is theoretically ideal and install procedures and disciplines which offer the opportunity to monitor and maintain business generating inventory levels.
