Reorders in your Warehouse
Reorders occur after you have received and confirmed an order from your customer. Later, your warehouse notices certain parts are missing in stock, forcing you to make an expensive last-minute purchase. Consequently, you miss out on your margins and, thus, losing large sums of money. We found that almost 10,000 reorders took place in a period of four months, which is about 8% of the total orders. These orders lead to a 3% loss of margin, resulting in 1.8€ million annual costs. The severity of the issue cannot be ignored. Therefore, we focus on preventing reorders in the future.
In order to decrease the reorders, we look for the root causes. Through process mining we find significant root causes of the issue. In the first effort to reduce the number of reorders, we focus on a specified customer group, product and two warehouses. Incoming orders from the customers at the warehouses for these specified products are flagged and looked at by employees. By flagging these orders, we help to prevent reorders from happening, saving the business major costs!
