Process of Identifying Trends and Improvements
1. Data Aggregation
- Daily, weekly, and monthly reports are collected from various systems:
- SayPro Inventory Management System (SIMS)
- Order Fulfillment Tracker
- Supplier Performance Logs
- Historical data from the past 3 to 6 months is compared to current performance to detect patterns.
2. Trend Analysis Metrics
- Stock Turnover Rate Trends: Is inventory moving faster or slower over time?
- Fulfillment Rate Patterns: Are delays increasing in certain regions or SKUs?
- Supplier Lead Time Variations: Are some vendors consistently underperforming?
- Order Volume Forecast vs. Actual: Are sales aligned with predictions?
3. Visualization and Benchmarking
- Use of dashboards, heat maps, and trend graphs to illustrate deviations from expected performance.
- KPI benchmarking against internal targets and industry standards (e.g., 95% fulfillment rate, <5% backorders).
