SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS | KEY RESULTS AREA
Customers
(Distributors, Dealers, Retailers and End Consumers)
1. Inventories are always available for timely delivery based on promised Lead Time in reference to Logistics' Master Route Plan per Week, Bi-Weekly and Monthly
To Minimize ...
Lose of opportunity to sell,
Over-stocking that leads to unnecessary cost of money, and spoilage
/ damage.
This EOQ (Economical Ordering Quantity) will minimize periodical ending balance per SKU – minimizes cost of money, storage spaces, etc. (damages, handling, ...)
Note that CoGS (Cost of Goods Sold) per month may include damaged, spoiled, and rejected products over Revenues in the Profit (Loss).
The real cost of goods base on actually sold will give much and maybe much much higher profit margin at the bottom line.
Since cannot control the damages, spoiled and rejects, these can still be reduced a lot of cost, as well as cost of money that is if, and only if EOQ through-out the SCM will be implemented strictly.
Base on Lead Time, Weekly Route Schedules, and Ordering Point.

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 SCM (Supply Chain Management) to ensure Customers' Orders are complete and delivered as Planned
1.a. 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.
Note: Go down to same highlighted color in IBP
1.b. At least 3 Suppliers for each item. Preferably with Terms and Credit Lines
