Operational Planning - 

  1. Engage your team members and develop a comprehensive improvement plan as you find issues and then hold them accountable for executing the plan. You will never be successful in the role you have been hired into as the Inventory Control Manager if you put yourself in a position that requires you to wear the fire suit daily. 

  1. Develop, prioritize and execute your plan with your team members when 

issues arise. 

  1. Schedule a daily huddle meeting (5-10 minutes long) with the Op's Manager the Warehouse Manager the Production Manager and your team to discuss what kind of progress is being made on moving the branches inventory management plan forward. 

  1. Make them all participate, and make them aware that if you are all going to be successful, you all have to do the work together to make it happen. This will not happen if this is not a team effort. 

  1. You and your Inventory Management team working with the branch Op's Manager have to be willing to take a different approach to your approach if you are going to make the management of inventory be more efficient daily. 

  1. Start at a high level, and identify the root cause of the problems and processes that you and your team identify as broken. Examples of this would be: Damaged product on your trucks, where did it come from and how did it happen, Bin Location Issues, product placement in the warehouse (fast movers stocked high in the rack system and slow movers stocked low in the rack system) damaged product how and why is it happening, inventory shortages and overages, picking and loading issues are just a few examples of where you should be spending your time focused at the branch. 

  2. Once you and your team have identified all of the root causes of the problems that result in you must do the following. 

    1. Prioritize the issues you have identified with the assistance of the Op's Manager 

    1. Put a plan together to begin the process of fixing all the issues identified. 

    1. Use the WWHW approach to develop a plan to fix things. 

    • What do you want to accomplish with all these items you plan to fix. Fixing the issue is important but identifying what is causing the issue is most important thing to fixing the problem long term. 

    • Who owns it in your branch and who is responsible for working on it until it gets fixed? Designate a team member who will lead this project and hold them accountable. 

    • How specifically are we going to fix it? This process is go
