A Double Dog Dare:
Step Up Your Inventory Management
Do you remember the thrill of being dared as a child to try something new, even if you knew it might have undesirable consequences?
Well, now that you’re an adult, likely holding a significant management position or striving to reach the next level in your career, you may find yourself hesitant to ask certain questions due to potential outcomes. Concerns about additional workload or uncovering immature management practices might hold you back.
• Is our inventory accurate?
• Do we have a clear understanding of what we have in terms of quantity and location?
• Is the description of our inventory consistent and accurate across all our facilities?
• Have we established maximum and minimum quantities based on acceptable risk levels, usage patterns, and a nominal supply cycle?
• How much of our inventory has remained unused for the past 3 to 5 years?
• Do we have inventory on hand that supports equipment no longer in use or installed?
Take it a step further and request your team to send you a photo of your inventory warehouse.
Now, compare it to the two images below:
Which photo does your inventory resemble?
If the answers to these questions undermine your trust in your company’s inventory management, or if they expose weaknesses, you believed were well-managed, it may be time to reevaluate your operations and consider how improving your inventory practices could enhance your bottom line.
