How to Fix Wrong Reorder Decisions

The operating problem

What needs to become clearer

How to Fix Wrong Reorder Decisions affects more than data entry. It influences how staff communicate, how the owner reviews work and how quickly a mistake is corrected during keeping item quantities, units, prices and replenishment decisions consistent; wrong reorder decisions needs one accepted source of truth.

Recommended approach

Start with the workflow, then test the software

Build the wrong reorder decisions routine around the decision it supports. To make that decision reliable, clean the item master, count opening stock and test every movement that changes quantity and review an approved item list, physical count, movement sample and reconciliation report on a fixed schedule.
