A warehouse supervisor has discovered a shortage of material to fulfill a customer order. If the inventory report shows that there should be enough material to fill the order, what should be done next?
The best action to take next is to D. Analyze root cause of inventory differences.
Explanation:
Why this is the best option: Before making any changes to customer orders or safety stock levels, it's crucial to understand why the inventory discrepancy occurred. This could be due to errors in the inventory system, physical counting, theft, damage, or other issues. Identifying the root cause allows the supervisor to address the problem and prevent similar situations in the future.
Material is requested long before reaching the safety stock level, taking into account the speed at which the stock is being depleted and the lead time to arrive new material, in the inventory system should be a warning when safety stock level is being reached, if that warning did not work this would be the first why of a RCA (Root Cause Analysis) answer D to check
The correct answer should be D, because there is a difference between the inventory report and the supervisor's observation.
