What are the important considerations in servicing the manufacturing sector?
It is important to understand the criticality of material fulfilment, and consequences of wrong or incomplete fulfilment. The inventory may be received in bulk from global suppliers and just in time from local suppliers, therefore it is important to study material requirement plans carefully and plan the pick, put away, and cross-dock functions accordingly. There is also a need to manage the spare parts inventory for machines, and to track inventory. Manufacturing planning, and inventory flows to and from the floor are very critical. Excise and sales tax matters also need good understanding, ensure that the manufacturer is not put to any loss.
