Parts removed from RIM.

[James96]

How do you manage your non rim parts? Do you put it in a different source? Run a weekly stock order? Run it as DRO?

[Denise Trimble]

We DRO and upgrade to CSO as needed; no special sourcing. DRO parts are not returnable, so choose wisely. Compliance should go out the window in times like these, but historically does not.

[James96]

If you’re not putting these parts in a different source how are you managing your stocking?

If you’re not putting these parts in a different source how are you managing your stocking?

I would like to know this as well.

In CDK, I set up a report in RPG to identify State Code 01 with 12 month sales greater than 5, with zero OH. You can run one with whatever sales value you choose, but I figure if it’s moved at least 5 times in year, it may be worth ordering. A lot of times, campaign numbers are on the list but I disregard those numbers. Don’t know how it’s done on other DMS.

We had CDK load a dict item called NEED into the Part-No file that subtracts the Current On-Hand from whatever number is entered in full bin. So, you enter how many you want to keep on-hand into the Full Bin field using PM. Then you set up a RPG or Enhanced RPG report that includes the dict-item NEED but not equal to zero so thereby you have a quick RPG telling you what you need to manually order and how many.
