Order Splitting Reduction: Analyzed order patterns by commodity type and implemented procurement procedures (product profiling methods) to locate products at the “correct” distribution center. Reduced shipment splits from 37 per hundred to 16 per hundred.
Order Sourcing Methods: Implemented improved order sourcing methods and shorts reprocessing methods, to reduce carrier costs (optimization of zip zone / service level / carrier cost).
Supply Chain Visibility and Purchasing Procedures: Implemented improved replenishment procedures with Procurement group. Main thrust was increased inventory flow visibility via implementation of real-time supply-chain visibility solutions.
Demand Forecasting: Implemented I2 Demand Planner for three vendors. Implemented business processes with Merchandising and Buying groups.
