Proposed Tasks
Critical and Immediate
-
Establish Minimum Stock Levels
Determine the minimum stock levels for each material to avoid disruption in production. This will be used to set up reordering reminders. -
Identify Key Materials for Production
Identify and list all the key materials needed for the production of rubber products. This list will be crucial in setting up the inventory monitoring system. -
Integrate Reordering Reminders
Integrate reordering reminders into the inventory monitoring system. The reminders should be triggered when the inventory level of any material drops below the established minimum level. -
Set Up Inventory Monitoring System
Set up a system to monitor the inventory levels of all key materials. The system should be able to provide real-time data on inventory levels.
Critical but not Immediate
-
Monitor System Performance
Regularly monitor the performance of the inventory monitoring system. If there are any issues, they should be fixed immediately to prevent disruption in production. -
Test the Inventory Monitoring System
Conduct a thorough test of the inventory monitoring system to ensure it's working as expected. Any issues identified during the test should be fixed immediately. -
Train Staff on Using the System
Train all relevant staff on how to use the inventory monitoring system. They should understand how to interpret the data and act on the reordering reminders. -
Update System as Needed

Monitor Market Trends
Keep an eye on market trends. If there's going to be an increase in the demand for rubber products, the inventory levels should be adjusted accordingly. -
Monitor Supplier Performance
Monitor the performance of the suppliers. If they're not delivering the materials on time, it could disrupt production. -
Monitor Waste Levels
Monitor waste levels during production. If there's a lot of waste, it means the materials are not being used efficiently. -
Review Material Quality
Regularly review the quality of the materials being delivered by the suppliers. If the quality is not up to standard, it could affect the quality of the finished products. -
Review Material Usage
Regularly review how the materials are being used in production. If there are any inefficiencies, they should be addressed to ensure optimal use of materials. -
Review Production Schedule
Review the production schedule regularly. If there are any changes, the inventory levels should be adjusted accordingly. -
Review Storage Conditions
Regularly review the storage conditions for the materials. If the conditions are not optimal, it could affect the quality of the materials and, in turn, the finished products.
