The basics

What is vendor managed inventory?

Vendor-managed inventory is a program we offer for clients that can forecast their packaging demand. Forecasting ensures we reserve production capacity and raw materials in alignment with your packaging demand schedules, while our JIT program of finished goods frees up valuable space at your warehouse. This pre-planning approach often results in significantly lower costs and maximum flexibility for fast-growing businesses.

How it works

How a VMI program supports packaging planning

Once packaging demand is forecasted, Golden West Packaging Group uses that information to plan with greater accuracy. The program creates an organized connection between projected usage and available finished goods, so packaging decisions are not constantly made under pressure — and production teams have a clearer way to prepare for recurring needs without crowding their own warehouse.
