Tsurumi is committed to providing distributors and end users with dependable access to its products by utilizing proactive inventory forecasting and logistical strategies.

By prioritizing strategic distribution networks and inventory management, Tsurumi Pump strives to ensure timely product availability, even in the face of supply chain challenges. Tsurumi leverages Netstock, an inventory management tool, to forecast demand and maintain optimal stock levels. By analyzing a rolling twelve-month history, Netstock identifies seasonal trends and provides data driven recommendations on inventory levels and production scheduling. This approach minimizes stockout and overstock from occurring, allowing Tsurumi to meet customer needs on a timely basis.

Navigating Logistical Challenges
When sourcing global products, anticipating container arrival and ensuring timely delivery to warehouses presents a challenge. Delays in ocean freight, congestion at ports, and unforeseen disruptions can impact supply chain processes. To mitigate these circumstances, Tsurumi monitors container movement through its transportation partners, allowing for proactive adjustments to delivery schedules and reducing the chance of delays. By working closely with a network of trusted logistic partners, Tsurumi can monitor shipping routes, prioritize critical shipments, and navigate supply chain disruptions more effectively. 

In response to global supply chain challenges, Tsurumi maintains three months of safety stock for core products. This proactive approach ensures that customers have access to products, reinforcing Tsurumi’s commitment to reliability.

“Our focus is always on serving our customers with the best possible availability of our products” stated Heather Paar, Administrative Services Manager at Tsurumi. “By continuously refining our inventory and logistics strategies, we reinforce our promise to deliver quality products when our customers need it most” Paar added.

Strategic Warehousing for Faster Delivery
To ensure adequate product distribution, Tsurumi has established distribution centers and third-party warehouses across the United States. These facilities play a crucial role in supplying pumps quickly and cost effectively to channel partners. By positioning inventory closer to major industry markets, Tsurumi reduces delivery time, allowing customers to receive product faster. Tsurumi’s warehouse network provides flexibility to scale inventory levels based on regional demand, seasonal fluctuations, and weather-related emergencies. In critical situations such as severe flooding or natural disaster, Tsurumi’s warehouses allow pumps to be quickly dispatched to affected areas, helping communities and businesses respond with minimal downtime. 

Through innovation, adaptability, and a proactive strategy, Tsurumi is well positioned to meet the challenges of today’s supply chain landscape while delivering trusted pumping solutions that customers can count on.
