I don’t have any tips- because I feel like I change BOH all day long. I try and be anal about them and they still seem to get off pretty consistently... 🤷♂️ I also feel like I can relate to quite a bit of this. Like you said in independent pharmacy you get pulled a million different directions throughout a typical day. If you ever find the perfect system let me know...
Enjoyed the Post! We met at PDS in Orlando last February. I was a consultant with your software vendor at the time and now serve as Director of Process Improvement at a small independent chain. I'm here because Bruce shared your post ;)
Their are a ton technical things you could do to min-max reorder points, I personally enjoy data driven decision making like that!
BUT, the best advice I can give here is spend time developing staff that will be placing the order. Teach a tech, with intimate knowledge of your inventory, the decision making skill. They're then able to accurately adjust reorder points and correct BOH discrepancies when placing the order. It's touched every day already, an extra 3 minutes making the aforementioned adjustments can really make worrying about inventory management a thing of the past.
