Oct 7th blog update Inventory Bridge with Synergex is Operational

Winning Brands’ primary inventory and logistics arrangements in Canada are at the Mississauga facility of Synergex Logistics, because this location is near the international airport and major highways. We have started daily use of the newly arranged live inventory bridge by which to manage remote inventory on-line.

Oct 22 blog update Welcoming Victoria Arrigo to Manufacturing Management

Winning Brands manufacturing is a combination of our own production in Canada (for Canadian and Export demand) and contract manufacturing in the U.S., for U.S. demand. There are some exceptions depending on the size of production runs, but that is the general arrangement. In the past, our production volume was not high and the production was therefore not continuous.

Now, in preparation for anticipated higher production volume in 2011 and beyond, we are adjusting responsibilities in the production team at Winning Brands to boost emphasis on “day-to-day” management of all manufacturing issues to suit a continuous production environment.

Nov 8th Funding Large Orders

QUESTION:

* Can Winning Brands afford to produce a large order? Would Lowes pay for goods, or is it consignment?

ANSWER:

Generally speaking, the larger the order, the easier it is to fund and produce. Winning Brands does not supply Lowes on a consignment basis. Orders are generated by the customer through a sophisticated system of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) by which the purchaser and supplier coordinate all related documentation, including the Purchase Order, Confirmation of Purchase Order, Advance Shipping Notice, Shipping Documentation, Supplier Invoice, etc.
