Stock that warns you before it runs out

The software knows a theoretical stock; the stock count gives another. Usually, the gap gets hunted down in Excel. Here, the dashboard answers on its own: what will run out, and where are the gaps?

The problem

The stock in the software is not the stock on the shelf

Between the stock the software shows and the stock you count, there is always a gap. It gets hunted down in Excel, once a month, when there is time.

And the shortage shows up on the day the part is missing, although the supplier lead time was known.

The review

Between the stock count and the order, Excel

The re-entry is the reconciliation loop in Excel. The dashboard removes it: gaps and upcoming shortages are worked out as soon as the count is entered.

With the dashboard, the gap and the upcoming shortage show up as soon as the count is entered.

The tool

Try it: change the activity, or a counted quantity

A fictional joinery workshop. The dashboard ranks items from most to least urgent, taking each supplier’s lead time into account.

Change a counted quantity: the gap and the cover update. The tick marks the supplier lead time.

  • Upcoming shortages, taking the supplier lead time into account.
  • Stock-count gaps flagged as soon as they go beyond the tolerance.
  • At your site, the dashboard reads your management software or your files: nothing to re-type.
