- 7. Replenishment
• Frequent replenishment is possible
because the vendor has direct access
to the retailer’s stores and can see
directly the customer’s purchases
without having to wait on purchase
orders or forecasts from the retailer.
• By increasing the frequency of
replenishment, total inventory in the
supply chain is reduced because less
inventory needs to accumulate to
meet fluctuating demand

- 8. Customer Service
• Companies using VMI agreements
with their vendors are better assured
of meeting customer demand
because their vendors are
immediately aware of inventories in
need of replenishment.
• Rather than planning to an inaccurate
forecast, vendors see the stock
reduction and are better able to meet
replenishment needs and
appropriately and efficiently plan for
these needs.

- 9. Importance
“thanks to improvements in technology, firms now have timelier and
The potential
better information about buyers. Speedier market intelligence and
importance of production in smaller batches allows firms to match supply to changing
vendor managed conditions. This makes huge stocks unnecessary and minimizes the
inventory on the lurches in inventories that were once so destabilizing.
supply chain can … on average, more than half the improvement in the stability of
not be overstated economic growth in the countries they studied is accounted for by
diminished inventory cycles. That something so workaday as supply-
chain management could have so marked an effect might seem a dull
conclusion. But dullness is a virtue, because technological
improvement is irreversible. This means the greater stability it provides
is likely to be permanent.”

- 11. Considerations
• Does the firm implementing VMI have the
supply chain clout to facilitate the change to a
VMI model
• Are the vendor and retailer systems
integrated in such a way to enable
information to be quickly shared
• Are the terms of the VMI agreement spelled
out contractually so all parties involved
understand their responsibilities
• Is there a process and team in place to
handle any disagreements that should occur

configuration settings required to set up
VMI in SAP

company owned stock, one can take
priority over the other
• Successful VMI partnerships focus on
process and overall supply chain benefit
creating a win-win situation for all parties
involved
