This research presents an integration of a simplified inventory management tool and information technology by adopting lean perspective. It is a real case study from an electronics company confronting with an inventory problem. The objective is to implement a lean concept for eliminating wastes arising in the case study. The selected C category products data were collected by using process charts for an activity classification according to the value. Barcode-based two-bin system and component storage relocation were implemented to eliminate a number of disclosed wastes. The results showed that average inventory turnovers decreased between 11.00% and 78.00%. Moreover, this approach was able to decrease waiting time by 28.01%. In addition, the overall distance reduced from 355 feet to 215 feet
