Vendor Managed Inventory is the process where the vendor assumes the task of generating purchase orders to replenish a customer's inventory. VMI is a term that is used to describe many types of supply chain initiatives. These different VMI activities can vary substantially in purpose and application.
In all of its forms VMI should be about improving visibility of demand and product flow in a supply chain, facilitating a more timely and accurate replenishment process between a supplier (vendor) and an inventory site (customer, distributor, distribution center, etc).
