Lean inventory and how we handle it at The Closet Doctor

[@lewf7063]

Hi Derek. This is Lew Ferretti from TAG Hardware. I’m just seeing this video. It’s an excellent overview of a well organized closet shop. Very good information here !

Great advice Derek. Cashflow is king! This is always a battle. Some fabric we buy in yards only needing about 20 yards is $18 per yard if we buy 60+ but the price below that is $32 so 100% more than if we buy triple what we need. Working out contacts with vendors to commit to annual volume and have stock when we need it without buying it all up front is the great battle of the supply chain crisis.

Great work, Derrek! We have endured all of those issues as well (minus the foil doors... we don't do them). Inventory levels are dropping, the floor space is opening up. Thank God for Lean!

Loved the video, I’m in the process of figuring out how to organize my shop and I’m seeing what ideas you use that I could apply to my own situation. It’s quite a bit different. But this is inspiring.

Hello nice Job what kind of rack do you use for you single sheets?

[@derrekholland5207]

We custom built that in house

Where did you get your inventory cards?

[@derrekholland5207]

Nick I had those made from a laser cutting place specifically to fit the bins from Uline. We also use the Uline weatherproof label. I can sell you them in quantity if you are interested.

@@derrekholland5207 yes I am very interested in those tags. I've been banging my head trying to find them.
