Throwing money away doesn't help your bottom line. Yet thousands of companies continue to do just that each day. The culprit? Outdated supply chain systems. According to the National Association of Purchasing Management, many U.S. companies fail to recognize the "actual" cost of acquiring goods (see Average Acquisition Costs chart at right), and, as a result, waste hundreds of millions of dollars annually. To combat this unneccessary waste of capital, corporations around the globe are adopting smart purchasing plans designed to eliminate out-dated purchasing methods and increase both cash flow and net profits. To assist you in maximizing your profitability, Sheats has developed the JIT/KANBAN Advantage Program. Based on the Just in Time (JIT) theory of inventory management, the Sheats JIT/KANBAN Advantage Program reduces labor, inventory, warehouse and storage space, as well as many accounting and purchasing activities. It also eliminates open orders, shortages, expediting problems and product obsolecense. Want to know more?
