Supply Chain Management

 A correctly designed and organised warehouse means high customer satisfaction and low operating costs. At the same time, it is  impossible to minimise stock differences and reduce stock levels without the right warehouse. 

•  Is your warehouse designed correctly?
• Are you overstaffed?
• Are the warehouse working hours and shifts arranged correctly?
• Warehouse employees are sometimes idle, how can you prevent this from happening?
• Are precautionary safety measures for your warehouse employees satisfactory?
• Are the products on the shelves stacked in the correct order?
• Are the shelves designed correctly?
• Are there dead spaces in your warehouse?
• Are the shelves the right height?
• Are warehouse security measuressatisfactory? 

 Stock levels constitute a factor that directly affects business profits. Stock levels must be evaluated with the right formula and the costs should be covered in the most efficient manner. 

•  How many  stockdays do you have?
• How frequently should you conduct an actual stock inventory?
• Do you have stock that vaporises?
• How can you ensure there are no losses in the stocks?
• How should you monitor for damages in the delivered products?
• How many days worth of stock should there be in the warehouse?
• Can you systematically follow up with the products that your warehouse is out of?
• Can you find out why we  stockout of some products? 

 The correct design of ordering systems is one of the biggest factors in ensuring that the warehouse works efficiently. The amount of orders, the correct identification of quantities in parcels, order timing and frequency take role as important factors affecting the supply chain. 

•  Do you have a weekly ordering plan?
• Is the order making and placing frequency right?
• Are the orders made at the right time?
• Are the orders placed at the right time?
• Can the orders be automated?
• How can  you reduce the time period between receiving orders and shipment?
