Reducing Inventory With POD

Unisys' auto-scheduling capabilities, which earned it a CAP Ventures Technology Innovators Award in 1995, are the in-plant's "claim to fame," states Gabbana. "We used to have $33 million in inventory. Now we have $300,000 in inventory. The reason is, we only build inventory when we get an order. If there's something on the shelf, that's because we've printed it, and it's going to be shipped in the next 24 hours."
