3. Movement of Goods: Monitoring and Control

3.1 Inbound Movement (Supplier to Warehouse)

• Goods delivered from suppliers are logged into the system through digital receiving forms with barcode/RFID scans.
• Each delivery is matched against purchase orders and expected delivery schedules.
• The system flags any discrepancies (e.g., shortages, delays, damaged goods) for supplier follow-up and claims processing.

3.2 Internal Movement (Warehouse Transfers)

• Inventory transfers between regional warehouses are tracked through internal stock transfer logs.
• Real-time updates ensure receiving locations have visibility on incoming stock.
• Movement histories are stored in the central inventory management database with GPS tags and timestamps where applicable.

3.3 Outbound Movement (Warehouse to Customer)

• Upon order fulfillment, goods are picked, packed, and dispatched under the guidance of automated pick-lists.
• The inventory system deducts items immediately after order dispatch to ensure up-to-date availability.
• All outbound shipments are integrated with SayPro’s order tracking system to monitor delivery completion.

4. Inventory Optimization Strategy

4.1 Optimal Stock Level Calculation

• The system calculates optimal stock levels based on:
  • Historical sales data
  • Seasonal trends
  • Product lead times
  • Safety stock policies (buffer stock for emergencies)

4.2 Demand Forecasting Integration

• SayPro uses predictive analytics to forecast demand, allowing stock levels to be adjusted proactively.
• Stock alerts and auto-replenishment requests are generated when projected demand exceeds current availability.

4.3 Dynamic Reordering System

• Each product is assigned a Reorder Point (ROP) and Economic Order Quantity (EOQ).
• When inventory falls below the ROP, the system triggers:
  • An automatic reorder alert to suppliers
  • A suggested restocking quantity based on EOQ and lead time

4.4 Overstock Management

• Excess inventory is flagged and reported in monthly SCMR metrics.
• Overstock strategies include:
  • Flash sales
  • Bundling with fast-moving products
  • Supplier return negotiations
