One of the leading frozen food manufacturing companies faced significant challenges in managing its operations, which involved coordinating with over 400 vendors, 200 suppliers, and 3000 employees. The manual inventory management process led to several operational inefficiencies, including manual tracking of inventory which resulted in inaccurate stock counts, leading to overstocking, understocking, and frequent errors in inventory data. Inaccurate inventory data caused delays in fulfilling customer orders, which impacted overall supply chain efficiency. Inefficiencies in inventory management, such as overstocking or delayed fulfilment, led to increased costs in warehousing, spoilage, and lost sales opportunities.
Here are some of the key challenges faced by a leading frozen food manufacturing company.
Data Entry Errors-Spreadsheet based manual input leading to incorrect inventory records and mismanagement.
Stock Discrepancies- Frequent mismatches between stock available in the warehouse and the count entered in inventory resulted in stockouts.
Time-Consuming-Manual process of data entry led to an increase in daily maintenance tasks and respective report generation.
Delayed Decision-Making- Lack of automation and manual data entry led missed or on-time approvals resulting in production delays.
Missed Orders-Fulfilling the requirement of 400+ vendors had become overwhelmingly difficult.
Labor Costs- Increased manual efforts had an impact on hiring excess workforce.
Storage Costs-Overstocking due to poor inventory visibility can lead to increased storage costs and wastage.
Challenges in Reporting-Manual reports increased errors on analysis and failed to produce accurate reporting and documentation.
Audit Difficulties-Inaccurate records led to audit complications and compliance checks.
