Reduce Warehouse Costs (% of spend)

The aging distribution shows a significant number of open outbound transfer orders.

Review how these numbers can be reduced and how to avoid this trend in the future.

Situation:

Implication:

The identified outbound transfer orders could indicate delays in the picking process in the

warehouse which could lead to a delay in the subsequent process steps like goods issue posting

and billing. This can lead to differences between the real world and the book stock in the system

which can lead to wrong planning or availability to promise (ATP) results in your supply chain.
