The Manufacturing Manager’s Guide to Stock Control and Inventory Management
Why Inventory Management is Critical for Manufacturing Field Service Teams For manufacturing service managers and operations leaders, managing stock and inventory isn’t just about keeping shelves organized—it’s about ensuring field service teams have the right parts at the right time to minimize downtime and keep production running smoothly. Delayed parts mean delayed service. A single missing component can stall an installation, extend repair timelines, and frustrate customers. Without real-time inventory tracking, manufacturers often face: Wasted technician hours waiting for parts that should have been available. Increased equipment downtime, leading to production losses and customer dissatisfaction. High operational costs due to expedited shipping or emergency procurement. Missed service-level agreements (SLAs) because technicians show up unprepared. Modern field service operations demand a smarter, connected approach to inventory management—one that synchronizes with technicians in the field, dispatch teams, and back-office systems to eliminate inefficiencies. Why Legacy Inventory Tracking Falls Short Many manufacturers still rely on spreadsheets, disconnected ERP systems, or outdated inventory methods to manage stock levels. This leads to: Data silos: Parts data lives in multiple systems that don’t communicate. Lack of real-time visibility: Teams aren’t sure what’s available until they physically check. Overstocking or understocking: Inventory guesswork leads to unnecessary costs
