Warehouse Distribution Analysis


After the tour, it was found that the current warehouse has 250 shelves for
storage of goods in transit that are normally purchased to maintain
in temporary stock for 3 days, the same ones that normally do not last long
in the warehouse.

To finalize the analysis, a checklist proposed by the methodology for the warehouse will be applied.

3.4 CURRENT PROCEDURES

The objective of this key area is to understand the procedures used for management of
inventories to ensure their efficiency, know the documents, reports
that move in each area in a way that allows understanding the degree of occupancy and
congestion of the procedures.

Purchase Analysis

For the analysis, the data obtained from the total number of PO issued in the year 2016 under the ERP will be used.

It is detailed with the purchase orders and the month of entry. This information is from

Analysis of Purchase Order Delivery Time

To analyze the most common causes of delays, information will be taken from the Area of
Purchases that have order tracking issued and the date is known.

Purchasing, that is, all the processes of logistics management are recorded in SAP.

3.5 SCOPE, ACCURACY AND TIMELINESS OF THE SYSTEM OF

The analysis of key area 05 aims to evaluate vital aspects such as


material coding, materials catalog and information reports, from
three perspectives: scope, accuracy, and timeliness to produce information that
allows efficient inventory management.

Material coding

The area responsible for the opening and maintenance of codes in the material master.
It is Master Data. Everything is cataloged in SAP

Inventory Status Reports

Common questions

Processes ensuring merchandise is in optimal condition upon delivery include physical inspections and verifications at various checkpoints. For home deliveries, the carrier opens the box to show the product to the customer, who then signs the G/R for acknowledgment. In stores, dedicated staff provide and collect a signed delivery receipt. These checks verify product condition, ensuring compliance with the organization's quality assurance policies .

The organization's cross-docking strategy influences its inventory classification system by focusing on the immediate processing of goods rather than prolonged storage, which limits the need for traditional inventory classification. This approach emphasizes the consolidation of merchandise for timely dispatch rather than maintaining finished goods or products in stock, thus bypassing complex inventory tracking requirements typically associated with longer-term warehousing .

The current reporting system for inventory management is effective in providing real-time data on stock control, daily income and outgoings, and stock movement, accessible by key personnel. However, its effectiveness is limited as no periodic reports are issued to management, potentially hindering long-term strategic planning. Furthermore, integration across departments is crucial for comprehensive insights, enhancing the organization's capability to anticipate changes and respond proactively .

Inadequate system integration can severely hinder overall supply chain efficiency by creating data silos and miscommunication between key areas such as purchasing, warehouse, and finance. This lack of coordination complicates inventory tracking, order accuracy, and timely replenishment, leading to delays, increased costs, and reduced responsiveness to demand changes. Effective integration ensures real-time data flow and supports holistic decision-making, vital for maintaining competitive operations .

Key challenges in managing supplier relationships and logistics operations include communication problems due to incorrect delivery addresses, lack of accountability in following up on purchase orders due to outsourced transport, and delays caused by suppliers sending incorrect documentation preventing merchandise entry into SAP. Additionally, issues such as compliance with delivery schedules and accurate order documentation are crucial for ensuring smooth logistics operations .

The inventory turnover rates significantly impact warehouse operations. Averaging a turnover index that implies materials stay in the warehouse for approximately one week indicates potentially efficient flow-through given the organization's cross-docking approach. However, a noted low turnover for certain materials could lead to inefficiencies, such as increased holding costs or obsolescence risks, affecting overall operational efficiency negatively. Addressing these variances is critical in optimizing supply chain operations .

Distribution centers play a crucial role in the organization's logistics strategies by acting as critical nodes for efficient order fulfillment and product flow. They support both pickup and delivery options, reducing transit times and maintaining limited stock for fast turnaround. The centers facilitate quick processing of orders through the cross-docking strategy, further enabling immediate dispatch and minimizing storage requirements. This alignment optimizes logistical operations, adapting to both store and home delivery demands .

The SAP ERP system in this organization facilitates inventory management by allowing tracking through stock codes, which enables monitoring of material entries, exits, current stock levels, and purchase orders. This system helps in maintaining accurate inventory status reports, viewing stock movements, and accessing daily reports about inventory changes. Additionally, it supports valuation processes by maintaining average costs throughout inventory history, providing critical insights for financial analysis and management of inventories .

Procedures to ensure accuracy and compliance in delivery and receipt processes include checks by platform staff on products removed from stores, ensuring documentation like delivery receipts is signed by the client. The system tracks deliveries, and documentation is filed as a record. For home deliveries, carrier procedures entail product inspections upon delivery, ensuring optimal condition before obtaining client acknowledgment. These steps aim to maintain compliance with current regulations and internal policies .

Responsibilities are clearly defined across roles such as the Click & Collect Manager, Store Manager, and Loss Prevention Personnel. The Click & Collect Manager oversees product pickups and service compliance, ensuring procedures are followed by all personnel. Customer Service notifies relevant parties upon customer arrival, while platform staff handle documentation post-delivery. Each role is assigned specific tasks to ensure seamless operation and customer satisfaction within the service framework .
