TCM’s Inventory Management module enhances customer service and increases inventory turns by replenishing products and materials on time for the required amount without increasing your investment in inventory.

It is a real–time system. That means you can instantly project phased inventory and access “available to promise” information. Information is updated with every transaction and includes all consumption and replenishment activities. You can also drill down to see the specific orders involved in any period.

IM Functions

TCM’s data acquisition tools ensure timely and inexpensive real–time tracking of your inventory using the latest bar coding technologies.

With these tools, you can track inventory for multiple warehouses, multiple bins within a warehouse and multiple lots for both purchased and manufactured parts. You’ll always know where, when and how much of each inventory item you have and to whom it is committed.

All the vital resources you need to manage your supply chain — whether produced, consumed, or distributed are defined within the IM module and are kept as part of perpetual inventory records.

IM Reorder Point Planning

What’s more, the Inventory Management’s “reorder point” planning capability (based on usage forecasting and smoothing techniques) provides you with a simple method for making wise replenishment decisions.

In some situations you may find that replenishment decisions can be better made using TCM’s MRP–like projected inventory reporting system instead of or in conjunction with the reorder point system.

IM Stock Status

IM allows you to easily see the current stock status for any item. You can even examine time-phased data and drill down for more information as needed!

IM Reorder Function

Inventory Management offers cycle counting based on inventory classifications and a complete physical inventory system. Retention of historical part usage allows you to focus on exceptions in responding to critical inventory issues.
