SMI – SEA Managed Inventory

SEA Inventory Management programs create a win-win solution for both supplier and customer. A SMI system ensures no stock outs, provides firm pricing, reduces inventory, and establishes a streamlined supply chain. By setting up an in-house store, consigned inventory can be maintained. We keep everything between established minimum and maximum levels with emergency stock available. All of the products backed by SEA’s AS9100 quality system and there are dedicated personnel for each transaction. SEA provides all the hardware and IT support to record pulls, automatically replenish stock, and electronically invoice. Using this system, stock levels are continuously tracked and replenished according to min/Max levels and forecast data.
