Inventory Management
|
We offer many programs designed to tailor our services to our customers' needs, and have experience with a wide variety of OEM industries. One of our most popular options for volume accounts is our Falcon Barcode Inventory System (FBIS). With this program you never have to worry about down time due to lack of parts, or inferior product.
The Falcon Barcode Inventory System utilizes technology to assist OEM customers in managing their ordering process for Class "C" production. These are the items that are the reverse of the 80/20 rule: the high number of low dollar value parts.
FBIS replaces the tedious process of checking inventory levels, filling out requisitions, sourcing and expediting overdue orders. We can implement this program at either a central stock area or at point of use locations. Reordering material becomes a simple process of scanning the labels for items below minimum stock level. The scanned information is uploaded directly into Falcon's computer system; then a pick ticket is generated for products needing replenishment. The result of implementing FBIS will be a reduction of inventory levels.
