However, the costs associated with carrying raw materials and finished goods, represent some of the most significant costs for a metal processing company. Obsolete inventory carries a very high cost for organizations as it ties up a business’ cash reserves and occupies expensive warehouse space. 

The more inventory a company carries, the higher the ongoing costs will be, which is reason enough not to carry dead, outdated, or obsolete, inventory. A company that can reduce their inventory costs through operational efficiency will see tremendous benefit. With Beas Manufacturing supply and demand management, inventory is balanced to ensure the right components and quantities are in the warehouse, while reducing obsolescence related to product changes, thus positively impacting the financial bottom line.
