Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI)

Vendor managed inventory allows customers to take advantage of automated replenishment from Cooper Industries.   This process is a crucial element of profitability and VMI helps reduce the amount of inventory needed on hand by enabling just in-time orders as well as minimizing stock-out potential.  Most importantly, forecasting becomes centralized and the supply chain is shortened by keeping the right amount of products in stock and reductions in transaction costs.
