VMI enables companies to reduce overhead and shifts the responsibility for managing and replenishing inventory levels to their suppliers. Independence Tube monitors each VMI customer's consumption patterns and adjusts material shipments using up-to-the-minute information received from customers. Based on the customer's estimates and advanced forecasting technology, products are automatically replenished only when needed.
