6 Day 1: Orientation If everyone does their job perfect, every time, every day, this job is a breeze

7 Inventory inaccuracy Mis-shippments Cycle counting Scrap Expediting Day 2: Reality Searching Mis-scans Overrides Missed Scans

8 Inadequate space FIFO Day 3: Constraints Manual data entry Serialization Cycle counts, audits Software/ systems limitations

9 Day 4: Desperation

10 Get more done, with less hassles If Only Simple, yeah, I like that idea Day 4: Hope Inventory accuracy becomes an expectation, not a just a goal No more cycle counting Reduce number of lift trucks Auto-validate delivery accuracy Eliminate wasted labor from searching and expediting Never lose track of pallets, even when shuffling and digging Eliminate operator scans Automatically capture location information Automatically capture load information
