UMMBC Series

ScottMadden is a founding member of the Utility Materials Management Benchmarking Consortium (UMMBC) and has been conducting independent research studies on behalf of the consortium since 2007. Leveraging data from the UMMBC 2015 Warehouse Survey, ScottMadden examined whether more on-site material actually improves material availability, whether material availability (inventory stockout rates) impacts operating performance and to what degree, and which drivers contributed most to higher staffing requirements and offers thoughts on a unique analysis to model quantifiable factors that contribute to generation inventory levels.
