Customer Needs
It is common practice to consider shelf life requirements while shipping items to customers and receiving items from vendors. Shelf life requirements normally vary between products, customers, raw materials and vendors.
Manufacturers and distributors need a way to ensure that the shelf life requirements of their customers are met during picking and shipping activities. By ensuring compliance with customers’ shelf life requirements, manufacturers and distributors can better avoid returned items and refusals to make payments by customers.
It is beneficial for food companies to ensure that their receiving activities comply with internal shelf life requirements. If they do not do so, they risk receiving items that do not meet their shelf life requirements, likely leading to the early expiration of their inventory.
Manufacturers and distributors who validate inbound and outbound activities against customized shelf life requirements prior to picking, shipping and receiving will greatly benefit from the reduced risk of customer dissatisfaction and inadequate inventory.
