BUSINESS CHALLENGES
Challenge
Teams need to know what was wasted and why
Transfer Control
Moving stock between sites should stay documented
Audit Support
The story behind movement should be easy to review
Consistency
Each site should use the same process
Detail
Without a structured way to log waste, the reasons behind stock loss go unrecorded and patterns become invisible
Transfer Control
Informal stock transfers between locations are easy to lose track of, leaving gaps in the record of what moved where
Audit Support
Without context attached to each movement, it's hard to reconstruct what happened when reviewing records later
Consistency
Without a shared workflow, different sites end up recording waste and transfers in inconsistent, incomparable ways
