Purpose:

  • To determine how well the current process works as measured by ‘on-shelf availability’.
  • To establish reasons for under-performance.
  • To develop and implement an improved process that reduces/ eliminates reasons for under-performance.
  • To develop and implement in-process measures that will track how well the improved process is working to provide sustainability
