retailers, up to 72 percent, lack click and collect capabilities, reports DC Velocity. Although this may not seem like a metric to track, knowing the amount of time necessary to pick a click and collect order is essential to making it profitable. Fortunately, deploying a robust, enterprise wide WMS can help supply chains meet this need while providing the benefits throughout the entire supply chain, ranging from the distribution center to manufacturers and beyond.

Let’s take a look at the top three characteristics of a fast fashion supply chain: Short lead time from designer’s table to manufacturer. Better communication is the foundation for improving lead times between design and manufacturing. Quick and reactive manufacturing. If the name of the game in e-commerce is getting products closer to your customers , the name of the game in fast fashion is getting manufacturing closer to your retail stores. MORE

Manufacturing flow simplifications. By implementing the above actions, supply chain managers can use the Tracking Ratio (TKR) metric during the introduction phase to measure the rate between the variety manufactured and customer orders. The TKR is calculated as follow: TKR i =MC i /DC i [1]. Where i is working week, MC is count of different manufactured items in week i, and DC is count of different demanded items in week i. MORE
… This comes after a survey by Thomas found 60% of North American manufacturers say operations have been affected by the COVID-19 outbreak.”[1] First, it showed that the full force of the federal government will be brought to bear in the manufacturing of vital medical supplies. In Washington, DC, policy circles, much attention has been paid to areas with a direct impact on defense and national security, such as semiconductors and rare earths. MORE
A Guide to the Warehouse Metrics Supply Chain Execs Should Track. The method of an integrated, robust WES allows supply chain managers to help manufacturers, or growers and harvesters in the case of produce, discover and act upon problems that led to contamination. That does not mean a WMS lacks value, and in fact, many WMS vendors have blurred the lines between functions of a WMS, WES, and warehouse control system (WCS), asserts Ian Hobkirk of DC Velocity.

Manufacturers may recall stock because of flaws or to replace older products with newer ones. In a manufacturing plant, reverse logistics performance is tied to the money or materials that can be recovered cost-effectively from the returned product. Retailers have often been faster than manufacturers to move to the requisite technology. It makes sense to run reverse logistics as a profit centre with corresponding KPI and metrics. MORE
When measuring order fill rates, many manufacturer and distributors often fudge the numbers to make them look better than they really are. To fill the 8th line item complete we had to ship the product from a DC across the country. Make it your New Year’s resolution to start using this more granular metric. Using these three metrics, I’m confident you can vastly improve your measurement of supply chain performance in 2015. MORE

The demand from a Walmart DC or another retailer’s DC was lumpy by definition. Traditionally, data from Walmart and other retailers has been used by account teams to confirm the achievement of metrics and service-level agreements (SLAs), cross-check penalties computed by retailers and identify root causes of shortfalls such as inadequate supply, insufficient forecasts, or warehouse or transportation delays.

I am buying a sheep and goat farm alongside a larger space for a garment factory so that I can control where the cashmere and wool is coming from, how it is processed and how it is manufactured before it is sent to my customers. It is absolutely imperative to be in a position to do as much quality control as possible in house, so that all that is required thereafter is shipping from the manufacturer straight to the customer.

Manufacturing systems and regulatory compliance are considered to be very complex, coupled with the limited number suppliers due to the high barriers to entry. Moreover, the aircraft manufacturers have to do whatever it takes to win the order long before the commencement of production. There are two things Boeing and Airbus have in common, utilization of lean manufacturing system and strategic sourcing concept. MORE
Without a shared set of metrics between the commercial and operational teams, it is extremely difficult to get alignment between them. Examples of shared metrics include customer service levels, inventory turns, sell-through forecast accuracy, total landed cost, and overall profitability of the business. By aligning the metrics between the different supply chain stakeholders, a collaborative spirit between the teams is encouraged. MORE
By using data to stock items with higher forecasted demand, they can reallocate cash that would normally be tied up in poorly performing inventory, avoid margin erosion from markdowns and dead stock, and increase overall on-shelf availability metrics. While S&OP has traditionally been a function more commonly used in manufacturing, retail-centric S&OE allows retailers to identify gaps earlier between budget and sales projections. MORE

For example, a manufacturer may start to package finished goods in a way that eases handling by a logistics service provider who can then offer better prices for stocking and transport. For instance, two manufacturers pool their purchasing to buy more services more cost-efficiently from the same logistics provider. Manufacturers must share information as needed about their business, supply chain, and logistics goals. MORE
Half of them are what we call 1PL — so they’re other retailers and manufacturers who are operating their warehouses. And, again, with the power of the marketplace in scale, you start to get comparative metrics. Well, imagine being able to measure those metrics in an apples-to-apples way across hundreds of providers. And when you go start to look for a new provider, those metrics are available so that you can compare even before working with them. MORE

Distribution centers are overrun and fairly chaotic right now trying to prioritize and fulfill orders, so be mindful of DC appointments and collect ready times to avoid OTIF or ORAD fines. You should also prioritize the products you need to manufacture and replenish. MORE
