Reduce Inventory Carrying Costs

Promotes supplier-consigned inventory - 80%
of automated dispensing machines have
consigned inventory from the supplier.

With AVMI contract your Industrial supply
vendor can more easily dispose of unused
inventory
Dispense older inventory first
AutoCrib software tracks RATE of use over
time for each item, so it will not automatically
reorder slow-moving items until they are
needed
Most shops see obsolescence
reduced by 50% after
implementing industrial vending

Reduce and Eliminate StockOuts

Cut Spend on unnecessary overnight
shipments
Cut spend on carrying duplicate tools
and supplies

6 Remove Traditional Tool Cribs and

Tool Rooms entirely at the same
time making tools and supplies
available 24/7 at the point-of-use

inventory control staff costs can be
reduced and staff reassigned since the
supplier can absorb these
responsibilities

Calculate Your Cost Savings .

Trips to Tool Crib / Looking for Tools & Supplies /
Retrieving
Items
T
= Average time
looking for and retrieving item (15 minutes is the
US average)
E = Current # of shop employees
S = Current # of shifts
P = Average # of trips per day per employee
R = Average shop rate per hour
$ Cost Savings (Item Retrieval) = ((T-4)/60) x E x S x P x R
EXAMPLE: 10 shop employees per shift, operating 2 shifts per day.
Each employee making an average of 2 trips per day at 15 minutes
each to retrieve tools. Average shop rate of $60/hr.
$440 / Day Cost Savings = ((15 4) / 60) x 10 x 2 x 2
x $60

Calculate Your Cost Savings .

Stock Out Reduction
S = Number of Stock Outs per week
U = Average Cost of UPS Red ($19.50) or your cost of a stock out
$ Cost Savings (Stock Out) = S x U x 4.25

EXAMPLE: 2 Stock Outs per week, UPS Red $19.50

$165.75 / Month Cost Savings = 2 x 19.50 x 4.25

Calculate Your Cost Savings .

Reduction of Obsolete Inventory
V = Current Inventory Value
R = Obsolete Inventory (Industry average is 4% per year)
$ Cost Savings (Reduction of Obsolete Inventory) = V x R /100
EXAMPLE: $500,000 in indirect inventory, 4 % of inventory obsolete
per year
$20,000 / Year Cost Savings = 500,000 x 4 / 100
