Why Manufacturers Struggle with Decal Inventory and How to Fix It
In manufacturing, time is money, and production delays have a ripple effect across the entire operation. For many OEMs, decal inventory becomes an afterthought, which can lead to costly and frustrating challenges. Running out of essential decals can halt production, while outdated parts waste space and money.
At MITO, our decal inventory solutions support your production and alleviate problems that cause added stress. By applying a focused, proactive approach, we help manufacturers keep their most critical decals ready, while reducing waste and preventing costly shortages.
Here are some common issues manufacturers face when managing decals without the right processes or support in place:• Overstocking: Excess decals take up space and tie up capital, especially when product lines or designs change.• Critical shortages: Running out of essential decals disrupts production and leads to compliance concerns or rushed, expensive fixes.• Poor visibility: Without clear tracking, teams lack insight into what is available, leading to inefficiency and frustration.
Each of these issues slows production, increases costs, and creates unnecessary stress across departments.
The goal is not to stock every decal. It is to create a streamlined, reliable system that ensures the right decals are ready exactly when they are needed. Our Experts partner with OEMs to design tailored inventory strategies that align with production schedules and compliance needs by focusing on high-volume programs where predictability matters most.
Our approach is guided by three principles:1. Visibility and tracking: Accurate data and reporting always give you a clear picture of your decal inventory.2. Proactive planning: We forecast demand based on production patterns to avoid shortages and unnecessary overstocking.3. Reliable supply: For your most critical decals, we help maintain availability so production stays on schedule and compliant.
This system builds confidence and reduces stress, freeing your team to focus on production instead of reacting to last-minute problems.
Decal inventory management does not have to be complicated or costly. With the right partner, you can reduce waste, avoid disruptions, and keep production moving smoothly without the burden of managing every detail yourself.
