How to inventory control and deployment?
Delivery of goods to the shop after the store display, or start generating sales. Because of the weather, consumer behavior, competitor activity, environmental and many other factors that may affect sales, so sales results show a great deal of randomness, there will be part of the section in some stores selling the other part of the store is another popular number of sections, That how to inventory control, and network inter-distributed?
Stock can supply the number of days = Current inventory / sales of the recent daily average
Generally take 1 week or 7 days or 2 weeks or 14 days or two weeks for 15 days, because the randomness is too short will be large, long prone to trends or seasonal factors, and because consumers usually go to work Monday to Friday On Saturdays and Sundays visiting the store shopping, the basic weekly sales peak will appear over the weekend, but Monday, two from a sales slump. In addition, according to principles of calculus, although the sales fluctuating throughout the year, but relatively there is a certain degree of continuity, to be cut short if there will not be much change, it can be that the last 1 week or 2 weeks of the daily average sales of a week continued in the future. WSM current inventory can supply a reasonable number of days between 30-60.
To count the number of days when the stock can supply should pay attention to the following aspects:
First, whether there is a significant promotion or competitors have a significant promotional activities, if the arrangements for a period of 10 days or two weeks of the promotion, the back should the same period the previous year the average daily sales or net sales of promotional factors before resuming fluctuations Otherwise, according to the previous average daily sales will cause a large number of inventory replenishment, so must be very well versed in the logistics business;
The second is to pay attention to the recent changes in the weather factor, because the garment industry is dependent on the weather industry, sales and weather conditions are closely related;
Third, when the season changed to pay attention to the withdrawal of the old goods and deal with the relationship between the new listing.
Of course, we take into account many other factors, such as the distance between stores (too far to the swap inconvenient, long time high cost), and shop stock upper and lower limits (based on brand positioning, high-grade general display less the public will be more, the amount of furnishings, each furnishings can display the total number of products and appropriate SKU number, etc.).
