The identification and removal of surplus, excess, or obsolete inventory can be a major headache for most companies. So much so that it often seems easier to ignore than to do something.
But that approach can’t last forever as this ‘zombie’ inventory is a drain on the balance sheet and eventually people do notice.
Dealing with this situation is usually referred to as ‘Asset Recovery’.
One issue for the people managing the inventory is that there aren’t actually many resources available that explain what you can do about the situation. What are the different methods for management? What are the different methods for selling surplus items?
Well, NRI Industrial, a member of our Spare Parts Alliance, has produced an ebook that explains it all: The Complete Guide to Asset Recovery.
