Thinking about the cost of slow moving inventory

If your business stocks spare parts to provide long-term customer support, have you ever thought about how much that excess inventory is costing you?

On the surface, it might not seem like much, but let’s break it down. Say your excess inventory is worth $1,000,000. You don’t want to throw that investment away, but it costs money to sit there. There’s the real estate of the space, the wasted man-hours handling it, and the absence of profit from better-selling parts that could be there. No matter how it breaks down, when you add it all up, that cost runs up to 35% of that inventory’s value every year. How long have you been writing this number off? If it’s more than three years, you’re paying more than your inventory is actually worth, but you know that the day you scrap it is the day a customer is going to need it.

What if you could get rid of this cost and get this excess and slow moving inventory off your books but still have access to it? What if you could re-allocate these resources for more profitable inventory? What would that do for your organization?
