Infor user, the company utilizes the Web UI platform, employing its forecasting capabilities since 2005. Regarding its inventory management, Locke Supply Co. follows the inventory philosophies of Grant Howard and prioritizes the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) approach. “That was a philosophy change that happened about 15 years ago, where we were using Just in Time inventory for a long time, but that doesn’t yield the best level of customer service,” Orman III says. According to Orman III, the EOQ approach ensures that the company always has the necessary inventory. However, it primarily focuses on identifying the most cost-effective method to deliver that inventory to its designated location. “It’s served us well from a customer service standpoint, so we’re definitely big fans of economic order quantity,” Orman III confirms.
