Illustrative scenario / STORAGE & STOCK CONTROL
A bigger range. A clearer plan.
Making room for more products without losing the detail.
This is an illustrative scenario, not a CSG customer story or a report of achieved results. Product suitability, service scope and system arrangements would need to be assessed.
An accessories business is expanding its catalogue. Some products move daily; others move only with a campaign. The operation needs a stock profile that can explain both the occupied space and the work around each order.
Storage profiling · Receiving standards · Stock visibility
What needs
to work together?
The business knows its total pallet count but has limited detail about individual SKUs, incoming carton sizes and slow-moving lines. A single stock total does not reveal the receiving, replenishment and picking requirements.
Build the workflow
around the requirement.
- Build an active SKU list with dimensions, barcodes and handling notes.
- Separate reserve stock from stock needed for regular picking.
- Review ageing and replenishment requirements before agreeing storage.
- Define inbound information and the process for unidentified or unexpected goods.
Define a useful
operating review.
These are suggested review topics, not claimed results. Agree the definition, baseline, owner and review period for each measure.
- Unidentified stock at receiving
- Inventory age by product group
- Replenishment exceptions
- Actual space against the planning profile
