Inventory Management
We understand the need to ensure there is sufficient inventory in the system to support your machine build, while also ensuring that your cash is not unnecessarily tied up because of overstocking. Blackwood Engineering has invested in recent years in both its processes and systems to ensure the correct inventory levels are maintained.
We monitor our customer schedules on a weekly basis and can react immediately to any changes.
