Where it usually breaks
And how to keep it from happening.
- Filled units are counted from shipments instead of acceptances.
- A snapshot is dated in the future to include promised deliveries.
- A locked figure is changed in a spreadsheet afterwards.
Prepare a fill rate snapshot for a scope and date, check it and lock it after independent approval.
Supply Chain Analyst records the scope, as-of date, requested units and filled units, linked to the purchase request.
The scope must be set, the date not in the future, requested units above zero and filled units between zero and requested.
The snapshot's version is frozen for review.
Procurement Approver approves the submitted version and the snapshot is completed with the decision date, or rejects it with a reason.
Completed snapshots feed fill rate reports and supplier reviews.
