Waer VMI - To Reduce Stock Levels

A revolution in inventory management

Traditional inventory management means having several weeks of stock on hand. After all, if you don’t know how much you’re using, you need to build in a safety buffer.

WaerVMI changes all that, letting you:

  • Operate more efficiently, with stock that’s on-site, but not on your balance sheet.
  • Eliminate stock-outs, with products that are always available when you need them.
  • Reduce your admin and non-value-added activity, as your suppliers and customers manage their supply chain for you.

Automated and efficient

When a part is used or a product is sold, scanning the barcode automatically triggers another part to be sent in. So there’s no need to remember to order.

And that means reduced paperwork, no stock-outs and happier customers.

In fact, up to 90% of your transactions can take place with no human intervention at all.

A powerful solution that delivers results

With WaerVMI, you’ll see immediate improvements in your operation:

  • Simplify and streamline: a long-term contract, one report a month, one invoice a month - and you’re done. It really is that simple.
  • Cut your costs, as you delay ownership of inventory until you actually need it.
  • Work better together: with WaerVMI you’ll build better relationships with your suppliers, who know exactly what you need and are always able to deliver it. And they take responsibility for inventory, which means you don’t have to.

Sophisticated yet easy to use

WaerVMI handles commingled inventory with ease. With detailed tracking, you’ll have no mix-ups over stock. And with strictly controlled visibility, your suppliers will only be able to see what you let them see.

WaerVMI has a simple, user-friendly interface. And it’s web-based, so suppliers can see their inventory worldwide and log on wherever they have an internet connection.

And with full reporting, they can quickly and easily get a big-picture view.

That’s the WaerVMI difference

Airbus UK designs and manufactures wings for the Airbus family of aircraft.

The Airbus UK facility at Broughton was under pressure to improve the efficiency of its fastener supply chain.

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) required improved traceability of products and Airbus’s suppliers wanted greater visibility of fastener usage to improve service and profitability levels.

WaerVMI dramatically streamlined the Airbus supply chain, with immediate improvements in service and cost, including:

  • 82% reduction of stock
  • 15-20% reduction in fastener usage
  • 99% reduction in stock shortages
  • 98% service level rating (up from 65%)
  • 100% traceability of all products

In total, Airbus saw cost savings of $19m over three years, and a return on investment in less than six months.
