Vendor Managed Inventory

Thermo Fisher Scientific rigorously maintains cGMP compliance in its service centers. This includes temperature control ranges from 68°C to 77°C, third-party pest control to cGMP standards, documented cleaning procedures, full visibility and tracking of items, and emergency backup generators. These measures are designed to ensure that our storage facilities meet regulatory requirements, mitigate production risks, and lower overall costs.

We offer Assurance of Supply Services, which include custom stocking agreements and local cGMP warehousing. This helps minimize the need for customers to hold large inventories, thereby facilitating improved operational efficiency and reducing total cost of ownership. Our 99% On-Time-In-Full (OTIF) performance supports reliable delivery and availability of raw materials (data/documentation on file).

Just-in-Time delivery is a strategy that aligns the production schedule closely with actual demand, to help minimize the need for excess inventory. This approach aims to reduce inventory carrying costs, free up warehouse space, and help ensure that materials are available exactly when needed. For customers, this can translate into improved operational efficiency and reduced total cost of ownership.

In addition to Just-in-Time delivery, we offer 90 days of free storage for inventory at our facilities. This service allows customers to reduce their own storage costs and helps ensure that materials are readily available when needed. Our logistics capabilities, including same-day or next-day delivery and consignment inventory management, further support timely and efficient delivery. This approach helps minimize the risk of stockouts and production delays, for greater flexibility and operational efficiency.

Our services are designed to reduce overall inventory costs through custom stocking agreements, just-in-time delivery, and efficient demand planning. By minimizing excess inventory and optimizing storage solutions, we enable customers to lower their total cost of ownership and help improve cash flow.

Our dedicated customer support team offers comprehensive assistance, from initial consultation and implementation to ongoing management and optimization of inventory solutions. We work together to conduct a thorough needs assessment and determine your 12-month forecast, developing a stocking plan to meet that forecast need. Ongoing, we support with proactive communication, and regular performance reviews help maintain customer satisfaction and continuous improvement.

We are committed to sustainability, implementing eco-friendly practices such as dedicated recycling programs for plastic packaging and wooden pallets, returnable fleet of cycletainers, optimizing transportation routes, and using energy-efficient storage facilities. At several locations our zero-waste facility certification underscores our commitment to sustainability, minimizing environmental impact and promoting efficient resource utilization. Our goal is to minimize the environmental impact of our operations while providing high-quality services to our customers.
