Abstract
  • A model was developed for the inventory control of the Volkswagen spare parts distribution in Greece. The model utilizes the capabilities of a digital computer, and features four systems, the necessary system files and various routines. Flexible statistical forecasting techniques are included for forecasting the distributor parts demand. Computerized procedures are illustrated with flowcharts and each procedure is identified as a system. The factory order system prepares the factory order; the additions system updates the parts master file with the parts arrivals from the factory; the transactions system handles the transactions with the dealers; and the dealers centralized inventory control system provides dealer sales forecasting, dealer inventory reports, and an evaluation of the dealers performance. The model furnishes the distributor with important inventory management reports, whose contents are described. This model, to be implemented in Greece to replace the present manual Kardex system, entails the minimum of computer installation and operations costs, it is not restrained to a particular computer and is tailored to meet the current Volkswagen factory regulations.
