Evidence from hold bays and second depots

These notes name the engagement and the constraint. They are not star ratings or marketplace widgets.

The aging map showed our tuna loins sitting two days longer in the hold bay than anyone admitted. The dashboard itself took a morning for the team to trust — the dock numbers had to be cleaned first — but the weekly hold list is now something buyers actually open.

We thought San Po Kong was always short because of sales. The transfer map proved most shortages were late pallet releases from our New Territories site. Mild frustration: we had to pause one busy Friday for the walkthrough, but the route lag chart paid that back.

Dairy returns dropped after we started using the three aging bands they set for our cold rooms. No fireworks — just fewer cartons hitting the dumpster on Monday.

The monthly briefing keeps the panels honest when we add new import lots. I would like the session longer some months — sixty minutes goes fast — but the one-page brief is what I send upstairs.

Extended story

Two produce houses, one movement picture

Kelvin Ho · Owner, dual-site produce distributor · Inventory Movement Review

Kelvin’s team ran a Cheung Sha Wan stall supply route and a second cold room in Kwun Tong. Short-dated greens were written off weekly without a shared view of how long each lot waited after inbound. During the Inventory Movement Review, Panel Bloombase shadowed receiving for a morning, tagged hold-bay lots, and built a simple aging panel by product family. After handover, purchasing cut one redundant mid-week transfer and moved two slow herbs to a smaller pick face. Write-offs on those lines eased over the following month; Kelvin still wants deeper WMS integration later, which was never part of this engagement.

Panel Bloombase walked both of our produce houses and traced leafy greens from inbound to market stall drops. The panel does not replace our clerk’s spreadsheet yet — we still reconcile by hand — but it finally shows which SKUs stall between sites.
