Lightnin and Plenty process engineers a well-equipped to streamline and recommend a focused inventory stock to reduce functional cost. Constructing a more profitable inventory system is a three-step system, beginning with the inventory audit. An inventory audit is set in motion by transferring the following information from your sales representative to the brand’s internal team of process engineers:

• Audit of your entire inventory of mixer spare parts
• Document the part numbers, ages, etc. of all mixer parts
• Subassemblies
• Component parts
• Evaluate the condition of each part and compare its part number against LIGHTNIN's standard parts list
• Provide a follow-up Inventory Audit Report that outlines the audit findings and categorizes the parts as a basis for an inventory reduction program
• Standard Lightnin / Plenty parts
• Critical spare parts
• Damaged or obsolete parts
