VMI Services
Not All Inventory Management Programs
Are Created Equal
GF is proud to be a pioneer in Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) programs. What began as simple, in-plant stores supported by dedicated GF attendants has evolved into one of the most robust and technologically advanced VMI systems in the industry.
​
By combining proven pull-system inventory principles and KANBAN signals with modern barcoding technology and electronic exception reporting, our VMI programs deliver greater accuracy, visibility, and control. The result is a smarter, data-driven approach that eliminates the guesswork and inefficiencies common in traditional single-bin or “keep-full” systems.
Program Management
Our program managers design and manage inventory flow, strategically minimizing in-plant inventory without compromising production.
Mulit-Bin Kanban Systems
Our Kanban programs are based on a pull-system, which triggers a replenishment cycle only after a defined number of products have been consumed. Request a consultation for your overstocked parts.
Third Party Logistics
Our Smart Label technology monitors and orders supplier products to your production floor. We establish a 3PL program that integrates with our multi-bin KANBAN program to prevent overstock of inventory.
In-Plant Stores
For those customers that want an on-site presence, or that have drastically fluctuating demand, GF offers In-Plant Store with consignment inventory. GF employees become an extension of your workforce to ensure a consistent, reliable supply of your production materials through these stores.
BinTrac Advantage
BinTrac Advantage with Smart Label technology allows our Program Managers to monitor each bin throughout the replenishment cycle and updates each time a bin is replenished with the latest BinTrac changes, including fill date and manufacturing lot number.
