Hello - We are looking to better manage our current process of replenishing reprocessed items as well as adding more items to be eligible as a cost savings initiative. If anyone is willing to share their process/inventory mgmt methods/best practices it would be greatly appreciated.
My list of questions to date (but feel free to share anything you deem helpful):
1. Do you use 1 Lawson number to replenish either from the OEM or Reprocessed vendor, or separate Lawson numbers for each? If separate, do you note one in a certain way to distinguish it from the other? If just 1 number, how do you manage multiple replenishment vendors? Also, I assume the average cost would be blended with 1 number. Any concerns/issues with that?
2. Depending on #1, how do you determine/calculate the unit cost interfacing to your downstream system(s)? We are on Epic/OpTime.
3. Any issues with issuing PO's EDI to consider?
Thanks much!
