If you really want to go all in on Supply Chain complexity try this for fun: There comes a time with any #CPGBRrand where a product must change some aspect of the item: ⚡ Packaging ⚡ Art ⚡ Formula ⚡ Color ⚡ Shape These are called Change Requests (also called by lots of other names depending on the industry: ECR's, ECO's, PCR's, DCR's). This is one of the most intensive planning and inventory projects in #SupplyChain and #InventoryManagement - to do well. There are usually 2 change types: Hard Changes and Soft (or Running) Changes. A hard change requires immediate switch to the new item, regardless of inventory. While these are most costly, they are also easier to manage. BOM's are changed (potentially forecasts as well) on a set date and the new product starts right away. Leftover inventory from the old product is then usually disposed/recycled or repurposed or donated. Then there are Soft/Running changes. Serious pain in the a$$ projects to manage. With these kinds of changes, the goal is to have a seamless depletion of the old inventory and THEN switch into the new. That means: ⚡ Forecasts need to be accurate ⚡ Inventory needs to be accurate ⚡ New inventory must arrive right on time ⚡ MOQ's must align to the last of the old inventory to deplete fully ⚡ The entire Team must be closely in communication to manage new forecasts, customer communications (where necessary), system changes, Supplier notifications (and THEIR system changes), impacts to costs, quality, lead times, etc etc etc. ⚡ The final switch to the new item (and all the affected areas above) happen at exactly the right time to avoid... problems This is a real party. It is also a really satisfying space to get right. BUT! Get it wrong and you get the one-two punch of both excess on the old and stockouts on the new. Tricky. Tricky. Tricky. What's your experience managing change requests? Did you absolutely love it? #ECR #ChangeRequest #BillOfMaterials #SupplyChainManagement #InventoryManagement #Operations #GoodTimes
