This process provides a dual confirmation that the raw materials the company ordered have been received.
Since the admin team is involved in the receipt process, Cindy receives many calls from suppliers needing to confirm that payments are being sent. Invoices are paid to suppliers and the subsequent orders are confirmed to enable the production team to remain busy. Many suppliers appreciate the ability to contact Cindy directly since she has accepted responsibility for closing the loop between receiving and production.
If raw materials must be returned to a supplier for any reason, Cindy will contact the supplier to report the problem and determine the process to be followed. When the materials are packed up, a member of the admin team will confirm the contents of each box and create a return receipt that will be included with the shipment. The same member of the admin team will confirm that the credit is given on the account with the supplier.
All of these processes were designed to remove the constant barrage of questions from the suppliers and the production managers. Accepting this responsibility was more efficient than constantly hunting for lost invoices and wondering why suppliers were not being paid in a timely manner. Production managers are frustrated by administrative duties and like the fact that Cindy is willing to take on these responsibilities whenever materials are received.
