One of the best methods to resolve this issue is to implement a solid consignment program. Part of doing is a SWAT analysis and trends.

There can be numerous factors leading to Inventory delays most of which are often due to external factors. Categorize your Inventory value-wise and identify potential bottlenecks in the supply chain. Classify products based on demand urgency. For instance, allocate inventory first to high-demand, high-margin products or key customers. Prioritize fulfilling backorders before new orders to ensure customer satisfaction and minimize disruptions.

Implement real-time inventory tracking systems using technologies like RFID, barcodes, or IoT sensors. This provides visibility into stock levels and helps make informed allocation and repurchase decisions. I have used software like Oracle NetSuite or SAP to monitor inventory across multiple locations, enabling more efficient allocation strategy.

Automated solutions for inventory reports and email notification related to stock level and reorder quantity based on historical consumption and supplier lead time is necessary to have better visibility

Es fundamental implementar un sistema de trazabilidad total desde origen, con lecturas electrónicos en cada movimiento y alertas diarias/horarias en caso de ausencia de inputs en algún eslabón de la cadena, esto sumado a un análisis de las necesidades temporales nos permitirá adelantarnos a una posible rotura de stock.

Classify products based on demand urgency. For instance, allocate inventory first to high-demand, high-margin products or key customers. Prioritize fulfilling backorders before new orders to ensure customer satisfaction and minimize disruptions. Create dynamic allocation rules that consider current lead times. If delays are expected, allocate available inventory to the most critical orders and during shortages, distribute inventory proportionally based on customer priority, historical sales, or other strategic factors.

Building good communication paths inside your organization so you can quickly know which customers are impacted by either an import or export shipment is absolutely critical. I have seen containers fall off of ships, containers not get loaded onto a ship at the dock but the manifest says they did, even containers loaded onto the wrong ship and land in a different country. All of which is to say, the better communication paths you have from your vendors and transportation providers to your customers will help mitigate and limit your exposure to loss of sales revenue.

Il est très important d être proactif, alors informer le client du retard ou mieux encore l appeler pour le lui dire de vive voix attestera votre professionnalisme et votre client sera plus compréhensif.

Enhance communication and collaboration with vendors and logistics partners. Share your demand forecasts and inventory levels with them to align expectations and improve supply chain synchronization. Also, don't hesitate to consider partnering with 3PL providers who can offer more efficient distribution networks or additional resources to handle inventory allocation during delays.

Uno de los puntos más importantes es la buena comunicación y relación con las empresas que pertenecen a la cadena de suministro. Realizar reuniones periódicas y conocer a la perfección la estructura de la empresa, lo que nos permitirá dirigirnos a la persona adecuada en cada situación. El futuro radica en las personas por encima de los sistemas.
