Back Flush Compared to Manual GI

49 Views

Hello,

I am comparing the pros & cons of Backflush with Manual GI to suggest the suitable solution .. the points that I could think at top of my head are as follows ..

Back Flush

Pros

Minimal human intervention

User's with limited understanding can function

Faster goods issue process

Cons

Large cumulative variance in system & actual stock figures over time in most cases

Not Recommended for high value material

Salient Feature: Suggested for low cost & less critical BOM components where there is not much financial/ logistic impact with variance within tolerances.

Manual GI

Pros

Accurate consumption can be captured

Better actual & system inventory figure sync

Accurate inventory figures enables better requirement planning

Cons

Recommended for matured users

Labour intensive (Manual activity)

Demand discipline in terms of reporting the consumption error posting due to stock deficit etc

Salient Feature: Recommended for high price & critical BOM components where consumption needs to be captured more accurately.
