Acredito que o primeiro passo sempre será a avalia??o dos problemas, a partir da identifica??o dos mesmos, entramos com as ferramentas de qualidade como o 5W2H, PDCA e etc. As ferramentas da qualidade sempre tem me ajudado de maneira eficaz em planos de a??o e resolu??o de problemas relacionados a qualquer tipo de processo.

The inventory issues can be addressed using PDCA as our supply chain problem solving technique tool. Planning: Identify the root cause of the inventory discrepancies, break it down and set target. Adoption of inventory strategies like pull system, lean/J.I. T & periodic replenishment strategy. Do: Improve and implement corrective action to mitigate against risk crystallization on inventory. For example, changing from forecast driven(push) to pull system without lowering customer satisfaction. Check: This is about control and evaluation of results, process, and action to prevent recurrence. Stock assessment with either cycle count or periodic stock count exercise. Act: Standardization of operational workflows and processes on inventory.

Inventory control is key area for any organization and if it fails whole manufacturing process can be collapsed. In order to avoid the risk,it is very important to do root cause analysis, measure KPI, involve everyone for value stream mapping with brain storming ideas to improve process, create SOP ,defining flow of Inventory and implementing Kaizens.

If your warehouse operations are struggling with inventory and stock control, there are several steps you can take to address the issues and improve efficiency. 1-Conduct a thorough audit 2-Implement an inventory management system 3-Train warehouse staff 4-Optimize warehouse layout 5-Implement regular cycle counts 6-Utilize technology for forecasting 7-Monitor and analyze performance

Implement Inventory Management Software: Consider investing in inventory management software that can track stock levels, monitor inventory movement, and generate real-time reports. This can help streamline processes and provide better visibility into your inventory.

In my experience upgrade is better but if counts aren’t done right or stock not refilled on shelf. The upgrade is useless , unless you also do your part .

Um sistema atualizado e eficaz, ajuda muito o profissional de almoxarifado a realizar seu controle de estoque. A empresa deve investir em sistemas para que o profissional de almoxarifado fa?a seu trabalho de controle de estoque com eficácia.

There is never a good or better Inventory Management System. This all comes down to entries done on time/ or neglected. Hence daily checks to be done 20-30 minutes before closing, will ensure the sales, and returns are entered correctly which should solve the problem, to tackle it, every week inventory is also another option. The Inventory Management system is for the higher level people to analyse the stock movements and which stocks are fast moving/ slow moving.

With my years of experience in inventory, I will say upgrading is better and training staffs on inventory as well. Upgrade is good and training staffs is also good.

Improving warehouse processes is paramount for enhancing inventory control. Embracing lean inventory practices, such as just-in-time (JIT) management, streamlines operations by minimizing waste and boosting efficiency. By refining picking and packing procedures, errors can be significantly reduced. Regular reviews and updates to processes ensure alignment with evolving business needs and industry standards. Involving staff in this journey not only fosters collaboration but also garners invaluable insights from those immersed in daily inventory tasks.

If warehouse operations are struggling with inventory and stock control, it's essential to implement robust inventory management systems and procedures. Conduct regular stock audits, invest in barcode or RFID technology, and provide training to staff to ensure accurate tracking and replenishment of inventory.

Improving warehouse processes that are already in place is important, with the involvement of the overall warehouse team better improved processes and standards can be developed and improved. It will be ineffective and inefficient if warehouse processes are only established by management at times warehouse employees need constant training on how to conduct cycle counts and identify discrepancy regarding inventory and reporting them on time while following standards and process that they do not understand themselves. Implementing FIFO and RFID would be the first step in doing so there would be some transparency on the movement of inventory what is recieved and dispatched is what is recorded on the system against the POD's and picking slips

Once inventory is moved in/ out, entries in the log book and then into the system are a must. I recommend 1. Entering in Log Book + Online Software, 2. Delivering the Goods, 3. Rechecking the stock out at the end of the day (only those which went out, as this will lessen the work and keep taps on inventory as well).

é de suma importancia que todos estejam cientes da importancia de suas atividades e que qualquer erro pode ser grave. Todos devem fazer suas atividades com maior aten??o possível.

I trained my staff to do the following: Manual Entry: 1. Warehouse opens at 10.00 am and closes at 3.00 pm. 2. After 3.00 pm recheck the items that have been sold for the day 3. Every week take stock of Inventory and if there are any discrepancies, track from previous week stocks, where the issue might be.

Train staff but more importantly give staff responsibilities. Often certain areas are left to ‘all staff’ to manage. Assign specific areas of responsibility so that people will be accountable. All the best systems in the world are great but without proper staff training and structure there will still be issues.

Desde mi experiencia, puedo afirmar que mantener un ambiente de controles sólido es fundamental para abordar los problemas de inventario y control de existencias en una bodega. Cumplir rigurosamente con los procedimientos establecidos es clave para garantizar la precisión y la integridad de los bienes.

Making sure that the Inventory is correctly maintained by certain personnel is the key to making sure that the warehouse operations runs smoothly. In these modern days we need more loyal and trustworthy employees to help any company's warehouse operations run more smoothly and efficiently. In my opinion: There are so many employees that have the ability to make this work, but only a handful of people (some of them squeeze themselves into authority, most call them the rotten bunch) they boycott the system and usually get away with it. What I would suggest is to create a platform where this doesn't happen. Which is easier said than done! But it is possible.

O controle de estoque é essencial para garantir o equilíbrio entre oferta e demanda, evitando excessos ou escassez de produtos.

Once entry is done in MS. Me and My team used to monitor and based on stock movements, place orders accordingly for Local and Imported goods. Put appropriate measures in place to ensure the discrepancies or stock issues do not repeat.

Fundamental para que esto funcione bien . El trabajo en equipo entre estás áreas es clave. Muchas veces no se entiende esta necesidad por parte de las áreas intervinientes por falta de capacitación o de un liderazgo que los lleve a pensar como equipo .

If the different dept's in the whole building are not working together, then they are working away from each other. We all have heard of team building events, but for this to work, then the teams must include people from different depts and force them to work together in team events. This will begin the tearing down of the walls between the depts and teaching them to work with each other and build confidence in each other to do their part. Have a meal, set a seating plan so that people from different depts are seated together. Take every chance to get different depts together to help build the team.

Of course, by helping them. First, find out what their difficulties are and identify what can make it easier. Sometimes, what makes it difficult is not just a lack of skills or tools. This can be easily overcome by providing training and assistance. Sometimes, the problem is precisely because of the policies created by the management itself. You have to really know the root cause so you can identify the right solution to overcome it.

Assess current inventory management processes for inefficiencies. Implement barcode scanning or RFID systems for better tracking. Train staff on proper inventory management procedures to improve control.

According to my experience first thing is to take out the list of aging stock go through the consumption level of each and every item. If it is less than 30% in a last one year of total quantity. Straight away discard the aging stock. Otherwise you have to keep the aging stock for next 3.5 years. Better to discard and keep inventory moving without dead stock.

ROOT cause analysis is always a great place to start! Be open to hearing honest feedback from the relevant teams as to what the challenges they are facing are. Go in with a view to fact find without blame. Ensure you are speaking with the frontline staff about the issues and how they see them, don’t rule out the simple solutions! Strip the process and issues back to the bare basics and be open to making the changes required

1. Do not underestimate the impact that poor inventory management can have to your operational KPIs.The shopfloor need to have a deeper understanding of the processes and value of introducing new technology (RF or RFIDs) in picking and putaway procedures.They must not switch back to old process unlesses it is the only option available( manual processes). 2. Cycle counts and Stock Takes are critical in identifying inaccurate locations and correcting before getting a backlog of inaccurate locations. 3.Maintaining a Manual Tracker for comparison with WMS reports is the simplest tool to investigate descripancies during stock takes. 4. Data Integrity and Good documentation practices go a long way in inventory management. 3.
