4 Effective Supply Chain
The ability of an organization to effectively move and store materials from and to a complex network of suppliers and end users is not a simple task, and the success of any world class supply chain is heavily dependent upon the effectiveness of its logistics network and delivery capability; in essence, its logistics function, comprised of inventory, warehouse, and transportation management. WHY YOU NEED A 4PL ! Whereas traditional 3PL providers mainly focus on transportation and logistics, 4PLs, such as MFLS, provide a wide range of value-added services that can range from business process analysis to hand work such as assembly, packaging and configuration. A 4PL brings together and centrally manages the complete supply chain for a company to provide a single supply chain solution. A 4PL simply put is your Supply Chain Management solution resulting in lowered overall supply chain costs due to planning and focus on direction. There are essentially three goals of The MFLS SCM Team: To control inventory To increase the speed of transactions with real-time data exchange To increase revenue by satisfying customer demands more efficiently

8 Retail Experience

9 Retail Shipping Options
Drop Ship VDC Small Parcel Direct to Consumer Shipments via various retail connections to include Commerce Hub and Amazon.com for direct connections of via an EDI interface. Direct To Store DSD With direct-to-store retail distribution, the difference between success and failure is in the details. Although you have the ability to ship directly into the retail channel, your profits from these sales can quickly be reduced when faced with all of the retailers’ specific requirements and the potential for expensive chargeback’s if those requirements are not met. Pool Consolidation P&C Simply put, pool consolidation is the practice of combining a number of a company’s smaller shipments into truckload shipments headed to a particular region. The benefits fall into four general categories: Improve delivery Reduce lost and/or damaged Enhanced control Reduce freight Consolidation To Pool VDP This is new program for Bed Bath & Beyond and MFLS is one of the few warehouses in the country qualified. Instead of consolidating orders and the retailer sending it to their consolidator MFLS becomes the consolidator for the Retailer.

System created bar-coded labels are affixed to each pallet received recording the date, time, and purchase order. FIFO control is managed by keeping inventory tied to the date and purchase order received. Lot tracking at PO level capable. Inventory can be placed on hold at the PO level.

16 Customer Returns Vendor Returns are sorted according to client specifications and consolidated from multiple locations with the same RA number. All documentation is stripped from return and attached to arrival document. Goods are received as damaged until inspection or refurbishment can be performed. Warehouse Vendor Returns if returned from the DC level or carrier return for product that has not made contact with consumers can be returned according to client specification as good stock and should be first in line for movement out of the warehouse. Defective Products can be consolidated and returned to vendors on your behalf so that you can be compensated in either new products or repayment. Refurbishment is performed at clients request by labor hour or by quotation.

17 RTV Process The Return to Vendor process is fully initiated by the DC or Retailer. Merchandise is returned to the warehouse in one of two ways: Client issues a RA number which the retailer uses when returning the freight to the warehouse. In turn the warehouse receives the goods back against the provided RA number providing a clear connection between the two. No RA is available on return and the goods are received with the information available to best notate who returned the goods. Documents are stripped from the returned merchandise and it is returned based on criteria levels established by the client. Goods are received with a sub item code to designate they are returns usually –RTV or –D if the goods are damaged. Returns are held until sufficient stock is available to run a refurbishing line or de-kitting line to pull components for use in re-kitting. Client receives notifications of all returns and documents are scanned for retrieval so they can credit their customer in a timely manner and watch for credits taken from their customer which are invalid or inflated.

Physical inventory refers to the sighting, tagging or marking, describing, recording and reporting inventory on hand.  After completion of the physical inventory, The Inventory Control Manager is responsible for reconciling any differences.  A physical inventory of all property will be conducted in accordance with specific plans and schedules. The objective of conducting any physical inventory regardless of methods of frequency, is to provide both the company and client with the reasonable assurance that inventory is controlled and the records are accurate. The Account Manager should be responsible for:  Establishing a master schedule, which sets the beginning and completion of both the physical count and the reconciliation. Assuring the adequacy of the physical inventory plan and that the physical inventory is properly taken, reconciled and posted to the property records systems. Areas the Inventory Control Manager may be assigned to accomplish are: Submitting an annual inventory plan to Account Manager. Oversight of the physical inventories. Reconciling the inventories. Reporting the results. The following guidelines must be followed when conducting a physical inventory: The personnel who perform the physical inventory count are not to be the same individuals who maintain the property records or have custody of the property. All physical inventories must be taken from the floor to the records, not from the records to the floor. Physical inventory count documents and any reconciliation actions taken are posted to the appropriate accountable records. Count documents and all listings of adjustments must be retained for four years after final payment of the applicable contract. The Inventory Control Manager should submit the results of the count within 5 working days.
