Excess/Surplus Packaging Inventory: How to Recoup Your Costs

gci_0819_bottles_mckernan

If you’re like most companies, no matter how well you plan your purchasing and production cycles (Lean Six Sigma, Statistical Analysis, etc.), inevitably you end up with unneeded inventory. There are many theories about ways to prevent excess inventory, but the bottom line is that it happens. Product demand goes down unexpectedly, packaging changes and simple product obsolescence occurs regularly.

The problem with excess inventory is that it leads to reduced profit margins in many instances. Low turnover rate affects revenue, bargaining power with suppliers and cash flow.

Excess Inventory also takes up valuable floor space in the warehouse that prevents you from offering newer, more relevant products to consumers. And the costs involved with storing unused packaging can add up. Utilities and labor are just a couple of examples. Employees who move inventory in and out of storage and organize it must be paid, which means you pay labor for the management of excess inventory.

So what do you do with your excess packaging inventory? Simply throwing it away or dumping it in a landfill can cost you in more ways than one. And, if you’re like most, the decision to simply dump the inventory and not at least recoup some of the costs is a difficult decision to make.
