Every stockroom has shelves like this. You know, the ones where somebody glances into a box, makes a judgement on what's left, and decides whether it's time to reorder.
But everyone who checks makes a slightly different judgement.
One engineer thinks there's weeks of stock left.
Another thinks it's running low.
A third places an order just to be safe.
Before long, nobody's working from the same information, and you’ve got too much stock to store.
Stock indicators remove that guesswork. As soon as the reserve stock is in use, engineers change your visual status to red. So instead of estimating quantities, teams can instantly see whether stock is available (green) , reordered (yellow) , or needs attention (red).
Giving you consistent visibility at the line.
If your stock status currently lives in people's heads, visual signals are often the simplest place to start. Comment BINFLAG.
