So! What Is The Big Deal?
Slide 8
Slide 9
At any time; 5.0 million cases are in storage In 27 different warehouses At least 7 states have built new warehouses At a cost of $70.0 million Space is tight everywhere More will build in the future
Slide 10
So! What Is The Big Deal? 1.0% OOS results in $48.0 million in lost sales 1 day of extra inventory is 100,000 cases Could take at least 21,000 sq feet of space (enough space for 1,333 listings) 1 day of inventory is worth $7.0 million in WC 1 day of inventory costs $500,000 in interest
Slide 11
So! What Is The Big Deal? What about management time? 16,066 SKUs to be managed 19 states 413 vendors 27 warehouses How many people involved in the process? How many labor hours are spent managing the process?
Slide 12
So! What Is The Big Deal? (Conclusions) It is a boat load of money Complicated logistical challenge Capital spending implications of getting it wrong are big! Poor bailment inventory management affects consumer choice (listed SKUs) Managing problems takes a lot of time
Slide 13
Is There A Problem? Er, Yes!
Slide 14
Example: Mississippi Example: MS; has great information! Problem peculiar to MS; Unlikely! 8 weeks inventory on hand 96,000 surplus cases 21,000 square feet of space = 10% of available space Yet, a 2.67% OOS rate
Slide 15
Example: Mississippi 143 vendors (herding cats) 3,452 SKUs Large company with 22 weeks on hand Out of stocks, lack of availability, and less listed items = the restaurant association starts talking about the need to privatize
Slide 16
What Causes The Problem?
Slide 17
Problem Cause? Murphys law? Mercury in retrograde? Supplier neglect? Broker neglect? Control state neglect? Unpredictable sales? Poor forecasting? Communication / Disconnected / Invisible
