How distributors stock switchgear assortments
Switchgear stock should follow sell-through, not catalogue fantasy. Depth in popular ratings beats shallow breadth across obscure devices.
ABC analysis
Keep A-movers (common MCB ratings, sockets, boxes) always in stock.
B/C items can be project-ordered through NMF with longer lead times.
Pack sizes
Match inner packs to counter sales and project bags.
Avoid opening export master cartons for single retail sales when possible.
Refresh
Review dead stock quarterly and adjust the next container mix.
NMF helps redesign assortments after the first sell-through cycle.
