Inventory Item Entry Control

CMCA(UK) - “Helping you to manage your inventory”

The Challenge

Duplicate/triplicate items in your inventory? Same part, many manufacturers, many part numbers?
Poor data quality?
Having to purchase parts from the OEM and not the true manufacturer?
Can’t find a part?

The solution

Implement an Item Entry Control System, purify your data, apply a common supply language and technical attributes in a common format to each item in the inventory. An Item Entry Control System does not replace an MRP system but works in conjunction to avoid unnecessary multiple entry of items.
