Telecom products overstock have always been an issue for most companies in this industry. For some reason they accumulated inventory and urgently need to monetize it. 80% of companies have obsolete stocks or overstocks and most of it will end up in dumpsters. Overstocks are spread in the distribution channels, with money invested in long tail and products heaping in the warehouse. Skipping the burden of overstock management and reducing warehouse space are critical to achieve monthly and annual goals. But how to do it?
Meet Maria and Jan story, you will probably identify yourself with one of them before we move forward:
That morning in Lisbon, Maria, the reliable and efficient purchasing manager at a telecommunications company begins her workday. Determinant to solve an overwhelming problem which daily grows dangerously in her company. The money is invested in still-stocking and benefits are decreasing alarmingly. Her boss looks at her every morning with a bitter face. It is a really serious problem that worries everyone. In Portugal, the construction projects have slowed down, and stock doesn’t stop increasing.
That same morning in Berlin, Jan, the person in charge of the logistics department of a Contractor leaves very worried from the last project meeting with engineers. He will need soon more cable wheels to continue lain hundreds of kms of the root projected. Jan has two problems to solve in these cases: lead time (it’s always needed yesterday), and the prices have to be low. He can not wait weeks to receive the product and is not willing to pay a fortune for the product to arrive by plane.
Days go by and Maria is feeling really anxious and begins to fear for her annual bonus if she does not meet the objectives. Her boss starts to press. The situation becomes drastic. She has tried everything, she has spoken with commercials, suppliers, potential customers, but it seems impossible for her to get rid of the accumulated stock. Nothing works.
Meanwhile in Berlin, a catastrophe. Engineers have told Jan’s boss that the project can be stopped anytime by lack of materials. Wheels are needed. Jan is seeking by all means to find a provider who gets to deliver the product on time. He tried everything and doesn’t know where to turn…
