Management aims to ensure efficient operations and high customer satisfaction. However, certain practices and KPIs can become obstacles to your supply chain success.
What are some common issues that impact performance?
- Over-reliance on financial stock turn ratios: Focusing only on financial stock turn ratios can hide inefficiencies at the unit level, leading to poor insights and missed optimisation opportunities.
- Planning based on 13-week averages: Using a 13-week average overlooks key factors like product growth, decline, and fluctuating demand, often resulting in overstocking or stockouts.
- Sales-driven inventory decisions: When sales teams control inventory, demand is usually overestimated, leading to excess stock.
- Factory planning focused on lowest cost per unit: Prioritising low production costs over actual demand leads to excess inventory or stockouts, increasing holding costs or missed sales opportunities.
- KPIs that conflict with supply chain performance: Misaligned KPIs between business units and the supply chain can cause stock imbalances, harming service levels and profitability.
