To deliver Consistent Quality Products to Customers with Shelf - Life Parameters and Performance Metrics At Competitive Prices With Good Profit Margins

 

FINANCIAL |

Corporate Planning (a Strategic Management Tool to Map out a Course of Action that will result in Revenue Growth & Increase Profits by making Internal Operations more effective & productive)

1. Budget for the CONSISTENT QUALITY PRODUCTS from Raw Materials to Finish Goods to ensure Customers' Orders are received in Good Condition (down to the End Consumers).

1.a. Warehouse Inventory remaining balance good for one week (from LOCAL Supplier | Production with maximum of 4days to one week lead time) vis-a-vis receiving of delivery | partial transfer. Example - 4 days maximum LT, have ORDERING POINT when items good for 8 working days. With this system, your periodical ending balance will be limited to a maximum of 8 days and not more than that will only be spoiled soon and or cost of money. Moreover, CASH FLOW BALANCE will be Liquid.

1.b. At least 3 Suppliers for each item. Preferably with Terms and Credit Lines.

Benefits:

(a) Quality Products delivered will be consistent (as agreed in Products Specification or Technical Informations like Product Preservation Standard Parameters including Shelf Life | careful in handling | others)

(b) Prices will be competitive. Terms and Credit Limits as well.

(c) Prompt Delivery Services

(d) Good After Sales Services

(e) Others

1.c. Ensure (PPS-QIP) PRODUCT PRESERVATION STANDARD and QUALITY INSPECTION PROGRAM are 100% complied throughout the INVOLVED ORGANIZATION to prevent rejects due to defects, spoilage and cost of money.

1.d. Have weekly Lot (Number of Batches) Production for quality high yield mileage over usage of Man Power, Inventories and Utilities for Cost Efficiency - Preparatory and Post Production Cost to be spread over the Yields.

Average cost per Product SKU will be competitive therefore, more profit.

1.e. Closely work with the Plant Officer for CAPEX with Monthly Schedules for increase in Productivity, Logistics, and Storage if requires

1.f. Develop an Accurate and Real Time (almost due to transmittal process) Information | Performance Metrics to have an effective courses of actions with the following format (sample in brief one)

Use Customized SoftWare or Excel Link eFiles to Auto-Generate the MIS from Raw Data Transaction Encoding
