What does this delay affect?

In this example, a purchase order arrives four days late. Review the stock shortage, the customer orders at risk, and possible responses.

Illustrative scenario with sample data.

  1. 1

    The arrival changes.

    PO-18423 moves from October 4 to October 8, a four-day delay.

    Original arrival
    October 4
    Revised arrival
    October 8
  2. 2

    Stock is at risk.

    SKU A falls below safety stock on October 6. The Jakarta warehouse could run short for about two days before the revised arrival.

    Orders may be affected.

    Three customer orders could be affected. Alternative inbound supply covers 40% of the expected shortage.

  4. 4

possible responses.

Open each option to see what an operator would need to check.

Expedite the shipment

Check whether a faster arrival can cover the stock gap.

Confirm the new arrival date, transport cost, and whether the supplier can meet it.

Transfer 1,200 units from Surabaya

Use stock at another warehouse to cover part of the shortage.

Check available inventory, transfer lead time, and the effect on orders served by Surabaya.

Create a replenishment purchase order

Check whether another supplier can cover the remaining shortage.

Compare supplier availability, minimum order quantity, price, and expected arrival.

Accept the shortage

Leave supply unchanged and check which customer orders need rescheduling.

Confirm the affected orders and tell customers their revised delivery dates.

Record the response
and its owner.
