Slimstock Ibérica organizes its Conference Management Stock VI in Valencia and Barcelona

The next 15 days and 29 November, Slimstock Iberian organizes its VI Jornadas management Stock in Valencia and Barcelona, respectively, with the collaboration of leading specialists in the field. These meetings constitute a meeting between professionals from the sectors of industrial supplies, machinery, hardware and household goods, which will be discussed in depth the challenges facing the sector, in particular in the area of procurement and its impact on the profitability of the company.

Improving profitability is the objective that sets all the companies. Profitability is directly related to the capital invested in stock. The companies usually maintain a permanent sobre-stock, paradoxically, not allowing them to offer the level of service desired customers. An inappropriate service level leads to the loss of customers. Therefore, the objective is to minimize the capital invested in stock and improve the level of service.

Studies show that it is possible to reconcile: reduce the stock between 20 and 40 per cent; increase the level of service to any appreciable extent; improve the efficiency of the management of the supply and increase sales.

The Conference to be held in Valencia and Barcelona will be developed on the basis of several papers that have been by title "Forecasting the demand, key to the good supply" by Edt Goris, Senior of the Slimstock group and general manager of Slimstock Ibérica consultant; "How to create value for the company through the management of stocks" by Josep Bertrán, director of the master in Supply Chain and Logistics of the school of business sea; "The challenges of provisioning" by Ingo Kraus, Manager of Cifec; and "A case study" by Josep Seguí, director-general of Eduard Seguí. The meeting will conclude with a talk Symposium and a closing cocktail.

The workshops are aimed at all those who have the ultimate responsibility at the level of administration of the company and its stock. This is: Administrators, managers, general managers, financial directors, logistics managers, directors of operations, etc., and all carriers of the concerns about breakage, excess stock, lack of liquidity, obsolescence, little rotation, etc. The meeting is designed for those companies that have a stock of more than 1.5 million euros.
