Just-in-time and demand-pull stocking programs are commonplace in electronic and electro-mechanical distribution these days. But MWI sets itself apart in a number of ways. First, it holds custom inventory for customers until they demand it or need replenishment. Distributors are normally dealing with active or passive standardized components that can be low cost and consignable but rarely do they venture into high-value custom products as MWI does.
This is the case when customers wish lean Kan-Ban binning or in-plant storehouse programs that brokers and intermediaries simply do not offer. Most of these companies do not take credit risks or offer extended terms that is the crux of credit-logistics stocking programs. If a credit-worthy customer wishes to be supplied on a “flow-controlled” basis, typical in demand-based supply and spend, MWI is that partner which improves a customer’s balance sheet without need for tapping inventory credit lines.
