It has become common place for many vendors in the chemical industry to bulk supply chemicals and bill for those chemicals on a per usage basis. Despite benefits for both the buyers and the sellers Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) has its fair share of challenges. Issues such as accurately determining the value of all inventory across any number of sites, actual inventory levels on any given site at a specific moment in time, accurate usage data, when to refill based on current and predicted inventory usage etc. can all lead to potential problems. In many cases compliance with the trade metrology act and other national standards are simply ignored which could result in costly disputes between buyer and seller or in the least significant expense effort to verify usage and reconcile invoicing.
