Why is expense management difficult for machine shops? Ultimately, this is a question about process AND data. The process is defined by what you’re buying - how you order material is different than how you order tooling which is different than how you pay your machine notes. This process creates the data problem, and it's hard to get a full picture of what your business is spending. Sure, you can close your books each month and see your margins on a few cost categories, but are you leaving money on the table? If so, how much? Every dollar matters when you own a machine shop, and managing expenses better is a sure fire way to make more money. Check us out at www.supplyside.io

I’m pleased to announce Curtis Ying, Mike Liebson, and I have just published an article, “Case Study: Optimizing Delivery Scheduling at a Large Restaurant Chain,” in the Fall issue of the Journal of Business Forecasting at https://lnkd.in/gGEKxHDm Full text available at: https://lnkd.in/gPR8H5xw The article introduces a new approach to distribution center (DC) delivery scheduling, a novel concept we call Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS). The article details how an iconic American $10B+ quick-service restaurant chain uses MPRS to reduce DC bottlenecks, increase receiving efficiency, and eliminate hundreds of hours of planning time. #supplychainplanning #inboundlogistics #qsr
