Ask most manufacturers about Vendor Managed Inventory and they'll talk about picking "the right vendor." That's the wrong question.

VMI isn't a vendor upgrade — it's how you eliminate the inventory problem altogether: the stockouts that stall production, the overstock tying up cash and shelf space, and the hours your team spends manually counting and reordering fasteners.

Our new blog post digs into why the real value of VMI is the problem it solves, not who's running the program. We cover how technology like RFID, electronic scales, and wireless tracking — powered by data-driven software — takes the guesswork out of inventory so you always have what you need, without the excess.

If you're still treating inventory management as a fire to put out every week instead of a system that runs itself, this one's worth the read.

👉 Check it out and see how a smarter approach to VMI could free up your team's time and your warehouse space.



VMI isn't a vendor perk — it eliminates stockouts, excess inventory, and long lead times using Blue Chip's Solve-Source-Schedule-Service approach.

DIY fastener bagging looks cheap—until you add up the hidden labor, errors, and stockouts that quietly eat your margins.

This is the story of one manufacturer that decided to stop hand‑counting hardware and instead partner with an ISO‑certified kitting specialist to turn a bottleneck into a competitive advantage.

Stop hidden costs from DIY fastener bagging. See how outsourced kitting cuts labor, miscounts, and stockouts with Blue Chip’s kitting and packaging services.

Runout.
Runout is a term frequently used interchangeably with eccentricity but which normally refers to the amount which the outside surface of one component of a fastener runs out with respect to the outside surface of another component. As such, it includes eccentricity, angularity, and bow. The amount of runout is usually expressed in terms of Total Indicator Reading (TIR).
