| Vendor Compliance
Your goal is to receive merchandise from your Vendors which is “distribution ready”. Recent news coverage of recalls and poor product quality underscore the need for documented, effective, well-managed, and consistently enforced "vendor compliance" or "supplier management" programs. "Distribution ready" means labeled and packaged in accordance with all Customs and other governmental regulations, as well as in a way that will minimize distribution center processing delays and maximize the time your merchandise is available for customer sales. This might include correct packaging, labeling, visa and quota requirements, or "product specific" documentation issues, thus effectively eliminating exception transactions and out-of-stock situations, while increasing inventory productivity, on-time delivery, and customer satisfaction.
