Sector Distribution & Logistics

Service levels and stock you can actually act on.

Most distribution reporting describes last month instead of changing next month — a single on-time-in-full (OTIF) average, a stock variance nobody explains. I handle the part that turns that around: reconciling sell-in against sell-out, splitting an average into the routes actually causing it, and building reports operations can use, not just board packs.

Service level reported as one number?

If OTIF is an average nobody can act on, sell-out is invisible, or stock variance keeps getting written off — describe it and I’ll tell you honestly whether I’m the right person for it.

This page describes what I can do — not a list of programmes I’ve worked on.
