Vendor managed inventory refers to a business model in which the business informs the supplier about desired inventory. By fostering this communication, there is less of a chance that the business will go out of stock of the item.
Should help increase inventory turnover because the inventory doesn't go into your plant and sit on your shelf. Supplier ships right to customer. Typically you get the customer order, and you maybe used to make the part but now you buy it, so you order from your supplier once you get order from customer and ask supplier to 'drop ship' direct to your customer.
Helps to control "A" items Inventory need not be monitored continually Useful when a large number of items is ordered from the same supplier Consolidated shipments lower freight costs

In Retail supply Chain we are using a Vendor to DC and then DC to Stores......If we are replinishing our store from Distribution Center then it will be Relpenishment Inventory and Once we are purchasing from supplier to fulfill our requirment of DC that will called Requirement Planning.......
a liability is what the business owes e.g. loans, bank overdraft, owing a supplier for inventory
The best way to make your inventory control easier is to track it better. You can partner with a supplier who does electronic inventory to ensure you have everything when you need it.
increase the amount of the account payable to the supplier, and decrease an asset such as inventory.

Depends on what you mean by 'stock levels.' Store inventory? Agricultural breeding? Stock price levels? It sounds like you are referring to inventory, and in that case: 1) Risk. If you keep a large inventory on-hand, and one of the products is unpopular/discontinued/dangerous you could easily end up with a very expensive pile of stuff that is very difficult to unload. 2) Cost. Maintaining a large inventory requires storage space, management systems, and personnel to track it. Just buying labels for a large inventory control system can get expensive. Every square- or cubic-foot of inventory has a cost associated with it, and maintaining a large inventory will mean a larger cost than a small inventory. Of course, a larger amount of stock on-hand means that you will be in a position to gain from sudden rushes on products, and to make sales when competitors who maintain JIT inventory systems are scrambling to catch up.
With excess inventory, it is possible to return it back to the supplier for a fee. However, if a business still wants to attempt to make a profit, many businesses will put the inventory up for sale or clearance. This usually occurs at the end of a selling season when new inventory is coming in.

Inventory adjustments can produce large swings in paper pricing
The main benefit of using drop shipping wholesalers is that it allows one to not have to keep track of an inventory. This is so because the wholesale supplier that one is partnered with will manage the inventory.
It means to make sales so that the merchandise held in inventory is moved out of inventory.
