Inventory Control We provide clients with an inventory control service linked to their production line allowing JIT (Just in Time) stock replenishment reducing onsite costs. Customer Needs Balancing the goals of avoiding stock outs while minimising inventory costs is at the heart of just-in-time inventory. One of the main benefits of our automated and efficient inventory replenishment systems is that you can quickly respond to reduced inventory levels. Our customers are now equipped to pull back on stock in a given product category and ramp up inventory in another as customer needs and interests change. Product Line Trials This provides clients with a mock production line whereby they can replicate the manufacturing process of new products without effecting a “live” production line. Line Trials McArdle Skeath are experienced in creating replicated/new product lines. We take the responsibility of determining whether the product line should expand and whether products should be removed from the line. We can also analyse the effects of the product expansion or contraction on the profitability of other products in the line.

With so much visibility into this market, we’ve noticed that companies have varying degrees of success managing reverse logistics—as well as varying degrees of missed opportunities when not paying attention to this part of the total supply chain. We’ve helped customers achieve greater sales through resale or realise savings by reclaiming parts for their operations and save time and resources through disposition of product that was surplus to requirements. While a greater investment in reverse logistics will yield more benefits, we’re confident that many companies can experience significant improvements if they liaise with our warehouse operations team. We are problem solvers.
