- Managing Stock Rotation:
Implement and manage effective stock rotation practices (e.g., First In, First Out - FIFO) to minimize product ageing, waste, or obsolescence. Ensure that products are regularly rotated, particularly for perishable items, to maintain product quality and avoid unnecessary losses.
- Improving Supply Chain Costs:
Continuously seek ways to reduce supply chain costs through process improvements, better supplier terms, and more efficient logistics. Evaluate and negotiate with suppliers to secure cost reductions, optimise transportation methods, and minimise waste or redundancy in the supply chain.
