Kanban and Fulfillment Services
Putting finished goods on our shelf, to a specified level, ready to ship when you call for it, is a sort of kanban system. And when we ship to your customer as you send us your purchase orders or releases is a sort of fulfillment service. Global Manufacturing Services, Inc. cheerfully do these functions for our customers.
One of our customers pays us when the goods are placed on our shelves and then when they get an order for any number of products; we pull the goods and ship to their customer. We have a blanket order and based on our knowledge of their product usage, we stock to some reasonable level.
Another of our customers simply gives us a blanket order with a specified number of goods to keep on the shelf at any given time. When they trigger a shipment with a release order, we invoice them for the quantity shipped and then make sure that a replacement quantity is expeditiously put back on the shelf for their next order.
We are happy to work either way. These are long term reliable customers that appreciate what we do for them and we are more than happy to work in this way.
If you have a project and you need kanban or fulfillment service, please give us a call at (336) 246-5143.
