more collaborative across departments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Business environments, or the way in which companies manage their resources, have changed over the last 30 years.&nbsp; What used to be a centralized, hierarchical structure has evolved (some would say, \u2018devolved\u2019) into teams with shared responsibilities and collective accomplishments. Businesses worldwide stress the needs and benefits of collaboration and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Team_building\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">team building<\/a>. The results can lead to better outcomes for both the companies and the individuals involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A similar metamorphosis is occurring with the sector of businesses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/inventory-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">managing inventory<\/a>. Previously, only the purchasing agent spoke with suppliers about product requirements and specifications. Now, engineers reach out directly.&nbsp; The accounting departments were only concerned about the financials of the company, but are now involved in purchasing and operational decisions.&nbsp; The shipping and receiving function needs to work with the rest of the warehouse crew and production to get raw materials quickly to the right location and products out to customers with the coordination of shippers. While departments used to focus solely on their own responsibilities, now it takes a cross-functional team to coordinate the movement of goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some examples of how roles have changed in distribution and manufacturing processes:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"banner-v2\">\n    <p class=\"banner-v2__desc\">Easily collaborate across departments with MRPeasy<\/p>\n    <a class=\"banner-v2__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/sign-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-ga-event=\"blog_signup_banner_blue\">Try for free<\/a>\n<\/div>\t\t<style>.banner-v2 {\n    float: right;\n    display: flex;\n    flex-direction: column;\n    justify-content: center;\n    align-items: center;\n    padding: 40px 32px;\n    gap: 16px;\n    width: 356px;\n    height: 205px;\n    background: linear-gradient(199.68deg, #6084E5 13.17%, #5FA7DD 82.1%);\n    border-radius: 4px;\n    margin-left: 12px;\n    margin-bottom: 12px;\n    margin-top: 15px;\n}\n\n@media (max-width: 767.98px) {\n    .banner-v2 {\n         width: 100%;\n         height: 173px;\n         margin-bottom: 0;\n         margin-left: 0;\n    }\n}\n\n.single__content p.banner-v2__desc {\n    margin: 0 !important;\n}\n\np.banner-v2__desc {\n    width: 292px;\n    font-style: normal;\n    font-weight: 700;\n    font-size: 22px;\n    line-height: 29px !important;\n    text-align: center;\n    color: #FFFFFF;\n    margin: 0 !important;\n    order: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.single__content a.banner-v2__link {\n    color: #FFFFFF !important;\n}\n\n.single__content a.banner-v2__link:hover {\n    color: #003557 !important;\n}\n\na.banner-v2__link {\n    display: flex;\n    justify-content: center;\n    align-items: center;\n    width: 181px;\n    height: 51px;\n    padding: 18px 0;\n    border-radius: 4px;\n    background: #003557;\n    font-weight: 700;\n    font-size: 16px;\n    color: #FFFFFF !important;\n    text-decoration: none !important;\n    order: 1 !important;\n}\n\n.banner-v2__link:hover {\n    background: white;\n    color: #003557 !important;\n}<\/style>\n\t\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shippingreceiving\"><\/span>Shipping\/receiving<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The lowly receiving clerk function of many years ago has turned into a scanner-packing data ninja impacting the supply chain for production and the customer service area of sales.&nbsp; Shippers\u2019 trucks now run on tight schedules, so receivers need to unload, scan, quality control and put away to designated locations quickly to meet production and customer demands.&nbsp; Accuracy is important because an error can mean the holdup of a production line, or a delivery to a customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Impacts:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Production <\/strong>\u2013 in an assembly or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/batch-production\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">batch production<\/a> environment, knowing when raw materials have been received may be the trigger for the start of the production run.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Operations<\/strong> \u2013 effective warehouse management depends on the raw or finished goods being in the right location (warehouse, bin) as designated in the software.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Procurement is about finding the right suppliers and sources of product or raw material.&nbsp; Purchasing is setting in motion the delivery of those raw materials (in manufacturing) or complete goods to the right distribution center at the right time.&nbsp; This involves timing of deliveries, effective communication and the financial resources to make it all happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Impacts:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Production <\/strong>\u2013 timely raw good deliveries are critical for batch runs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accounting <\/strong>\u2013 funds must be available and coordinated to meet supplier demands<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Operations <\/strong>\u2013 having too&nbsp;

And while the sales function does drive the business, it takes methodical and honest planning to achieve sales goals.&nbsp; This involves looking at current demand and anticipating future orders based on expected demand.&nbsp; Salespeople must then translate expectations into specified product requirements in the future.&nbsp; If the budget is set too low, customers are left without products.&nbsp; Plan too high, the warehouse bulges with too much stock, and workers mull around waiting for work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Impacts:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Production <\/strong>\u2013 material and labor schedules are based on expected demand.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Inventory is usually the largest asset class on a distribution company\u2019s balance sheet.&nbsp; Purchasing determines the needs through forecasting and requisitions, but accounting must pay the bills when they come due.&nbsp; Being a part of the financial planning for this part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/materials-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">material management<\/a> allows finance to balance the needs of production with what is possible for the company.&nbsp; Unrestrained purchases can put a financial bind on the company\u2019s ability to get funding.&nbsp; Two functions they serve are: 1) comparing shipping documents for items received against purchase orders and supplier invoices, and 2) overseeing the successful completion of the (usually) end-of-year physical inventory count.&nbsp; It is also responsible for tracking the outstanding accounts payable and receivable around inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Impacts:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Operations <\/strong>\u2013 approves the budget for materials requested for a period.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shipping\/receiving <\/strong>\u2013 receives shipping documents to compare against bills<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Purchasing <\/strong>\u2013 approves funding for purchase requisitions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Management\"><\/span>Management<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All members of leadership need to be aware of the operational and financial impacts of inventory control.&nbsp;&nbsp; This usually takes the form of reports, including Sales by Item, Inventory Turns and Margin reports.&nbsp; It also involves reviewing the overall layout of the warehouse, and how the different functional areas are working together as a team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_get_the_different_areas_to_work_together\"><\/span>How do you get the different areas to work together?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A long-running tool in management for controlling the inventory levels is the Sales &amp; Operations Planning meeting or \u2018S&amp;OP.\u2019 The primary members of the meeting are the production and\/or warehouse manager, the sales department, and a member of accounting.&nbsp; Staff for these departments start compiling data for their area weeks in advance: sales determines the projected sales volume; production analyses their current capabilities in terms of manpower and equipment, and finance determines funds availability.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the S&amp;OP meeting, the sales manager usually leads with the expected or projected sales for the qualifying period, usually the next month or quarter.&nbsp; Production will attempt to match capabilities with the sales projection, and accounting will advise if funds are available to support the operation for that period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the goals have been agreed upon, the company executives sign off on the plan, and actions are put in place in each department to meet the stated goals.&nbsp; This collaboration results in each department knowing what to expect for the short-term future and can plan for the materials and people needed to accomplish it.&nbsp; It also holds everyone accountable to meet their stated goals, and not waffle on unspecific promises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inventory management is a process, not a task. While many people have a role in the supply chain, they must all work in unison to complete the process successfully. Management needs to understand this to gain total control of the inventory\/supply chain process and make it work within their company.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"banner-v1\">\n    <div class=\"banner__text\">\n        <div class=\"banner-v1__title\">Ensure efficient collaboration across departments<\/div>\n        <div class=\"banner-v1__desc\">MRPeasy integrates inventory, production, sales, purchases, and finance to give you a real-time overview of your business.
