The VMI service significantly reduces customer supply chain activities and allows the customer to focus their resources in other areas. This service can also reduce required inventory levels, thus improving cash flow and reducing inventory space requirements.

This is what our customers say about the service:

JD Machine’s ability to be in our facility, monitor our inventory levels, and keep our stock min/max where we need it has been a great example of partnership and the willingness to meet our expectations. They have improved out stock availability, reduced our contract administration, minimized our number of total purchase transactions significantly, and improved our cash flow. This type of partnership is new to our company but is something that we are recommending to our other divisions.

LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT

Coupled with our Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) activities, JD can also manage the subassemblies and respective suppliers for the customer. JD has a number of assemblies where we build some of the parts, parts are built by our customer, and additional components are supplied. JD has taken on the responsibility to schedule, assemble and deliver all of these various components and subassemblies.
