The Challenge
The opportunity is to eliminate Orders started without cover, long lead items bought twice, and stock ageing into a reserve. The proposed workflow is source-linked, but the current operating baseline and financial value remain illustrative until validated with the client.
How It Works
- One record per item: what it is, the order it is committed to, the supplier, the promised date, the price paid, the age on the shelf and the reserve it carries.
- The engine matches every open order to its long lead cover, flags orders running without it, ranks items ageing toward a reserve, and proposes the buy, the transfer between sites or the release before the money is written down.
- It reads the purchase log and the ageing file.
What It Removes
- Orders started without cover
- Long lead items bought twice
- Stock ageing into a reserve
