SKU Reduction
14
Carrying excess inventory is as much of a drag on
company profitability as inefficient production processes.
The more item SKUs (stock keeping units) you maintain,
the greater the complexity of tracking systems and
expense to manage inventory — both of which result
in revenue loss. Thomas & Betts has a heritage of
innovation, and an important characteristic of many
new Thomas & Betts products is their ability to replace
multiple existing SKUs with one. Our SKU reduction
solutions help you:
