The Inventory Management Replenishment
System, (IMRS), is an automated inventory replenishment system which
offers the ultimate in flexibility and ease of operation. Utilizing bar
code technology and electronic data interchange you can effortlessly
manage inventory, reorder stock and reduce administration costs.
The IMRS hardware is used
to scan the inventory. Replenishment data is automatically
formatted and transmitted via EDI. Your replacement shipment is
prepared that same day and shipped to your JIT production requirements.
IMRS adds flexibility and speed to meet
the quickly changing needs of "pull", short cycle, or
continuous flow manufacturing. The benefits from IMRS are
substantial for both OEMs and Contract Manufacturers. The IMRS
System greatly reduces production cycle times, increases inventory turns
(15+) and increases cash flow to your company.
