I’m always late to my customer / Dissatisfied customers
Almost everything you do can affect your ability to get orders out the door and to your customer on time. Poor forecasting, unexpected downtime, excessive defects, or faulty packing techniques can lead to delays that lead to expediting and unhappy customers. When will the nightmare end?
Systemic lateness only proves to your customers that they are not important to you and that means eventually, you will not be important to them. While contacting the customer ahead of time to let them know of the delay is good, and having a good reason for the delay is better, in this manufacturing world, we need to be ready to ensure that there is no reason for a delay, much less a common one.
We cover planning, maintenance, quality, forecasting, labor usage, misplaced inventory, and other topics on other sections, but it all comes down to improving your standing with your customer. And the cornerstone of that standing is reliability. Being reliable does more to improve how your regular customers think of you than almost anything else, and that in turn leads to sales growth through word-of-mouth. As an example, we all know that people are willing to pay more to buy a car from a brand with a record of reliability and then recommend that car to their friends and family. But how do we go about this? With all the other items accounted for, we must improve shipping.
