[Home](https://jayamandiripackaging.com/en) 2. Flex-Stock (VMI) Flex-Stock · Vendor Managed Inventory # We hold your packaging stock and ship per call-off, on your production schedule. Flex-Stock is JMP's vendor-managed inventory (VMI) program for automotive suppliers: we make your packaging in advance, hold it as a buffer in our warehouse, and deliver exactly when your line needs it. ## In short: we hold the stock Vendor managed inventory (VMI) is a scheme where the supplier — not you — manages your stock: producing ahead, holding a buffer, and replenishing as you use it. For packaging, that means we produce and hold your carton box and polybag stock in advance, then ship it per call-off exactly when your line needs it — so you're not tying up floor space on bulk stock, and you're not stopping the line because packaging arrived late.
