Do you know of any companies, in the non food/retails areas that work on a Vendor Managed Inventory basis where the stock in the customer's warehouse is still owned by the manufacturer?

Don't know any company which has actually done it. I have done quite a bit of work for a client on that but they didn't really take it any further (the operation was sold off). Happy to talk about my experience.
N.B. Haven't checked it out but there are 1,740,000 responses on Google for "vendor managed inventory". There must be something useful there I would have thought. Even better, Google UK pages only still brings up 72,900 references which are closer to home, e.g.
Exel’s Vendor Managed Inventory solution for Celestica in China ... Exel established a Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) programme for Celestica. ...

I was at a conference in Munich last week and there was a presentation from the Mfg VP of Dell in Ireland that showed that they use VMI for many of their components and assemblies.
VMI is also used by Sun Microsystems I believe.
It is very common in the Automotive sector, TRW AUtomotive use it at their own assembly plants and also operate it with their clients like Peugeot, Toyota and Honda .
There is a company based in Gloucester, Infast , that supplies "Class C" items to automotive and other industries via VMI systems, often via barcode and RFID.
Hope this helps

Flowserve in Newark certainly operated that way with mechanical seals when I handed manufacturing back over to the in-house team at the end of 2001.
I can make contact if you wish

I remember doing some work a number of years ago with RS Components and at that time they were starting to offer a material management service to their clients, I don't know how this progressed and they are a distributor rather than a manufacturer but they might be of some use.

GSK do it on a B2B basis. Most of our stock of engineering consumables and safety equipment (helmets, shoes, ear plugs etc. etc.) are owned by the supplier until usage is declared by GSK
does this count?

Astrazeneca use VMI quite extensively. However the warehouses are mainly owned by AZ subsidiaries but the principles are the same. When I left last May they (that is I) was looking to apply VMI to a third party customer in Ireland.

PALL Filters also provide a VMI service. It was very useful as they had someone on site twice a week who ensured we were using the right filters for the right service, as well as owning the stock up until the point of use.

My company (Aerospace) uses it for manufacturing consumables, Health and Safety consumables and for C Class parts in assembly.

We have been providing a service to manage Vendor Owned Inventory for a number of Blue Chip clients for a number of years. The type of items managed ranges from low value packaging to high value components and Raw Materials. Vendor owned inventory sits either off-site at a 3rd Party Warehouse or on-site in the clients Warehouse, or both.
The service is normally paid for by the client company, but pays for itself due to the 30-40% inventory reduction we can achieve, the reduction in purchasing resource and the 99%+ item availability we can offer the factory. This also keeps the supplier happy who of course normally needs to pay for the Storage and Handling. In addition it takes away the risk of the supplier being poor at inventory control and the client factory suffering the consequences of shortages, particularly on key items.
We also provide a secure Web-Portal for suppliers and clients to log into in order to view and monitor orders, inventory, metrics etc.
I would be happy to further share our experiences with VMI. Please contact Mark Robinson at mark.robinson@orchestr8.com
