Production order picking "shortfalls" / back-order

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi all,

I’m curious to hear how (particularly manufacturing) organisations are dealing with the situation where a pick for a production order (ie production order / bom / operation “release to warehouse”) is not able to fulfil all of the BOM requirements - this might be, for example, due to the fact that there is no stock available (for certain items), or a short-pick occurs when the warehouse worker is processing the pick.

It’s true that, when more stock arrives (later on) for the short-picked items, then a Release To Warehouse can be run again (for the relevant production order / operations), but there really seems to be very limited (or none at all) reporting to assist with this.

If this is something that impacts your organisation, how are you getting the necessary information to your warehouse teams (in a timely fashion) - and production teams, I guess - so that they know who has “missed out”, and also so they know when new stock arrives (for affected items), and which production orders / operations to re-release?

For our organisation, where there are many picks every day, across multiple different production orders and operations, there are many opportunities for these sorts of pick shortfalls (despite best efforts of the inventory control team).  I’m sure many other organisations must be in a similar situation - if so, what sort of things are your teams doing / using to support this process?

Cheers, Craig
