All 10 Documented Cases
Inventory Forecasting और Demand Planning में Data Blindness
₹200,000–₹2,000,000 annually: ₹100,000–₹500,000 excess working capital (overstocking); ₹50,000–₹300,000 lost revenue (stockouts during peak season); ₹30,000–₹200,000 expedited shipping/rush order premiums; ₹50,000–₹500,000 raw material waste (5–10% shrinkage).Herbal supplement manufacturers (e.g., ashwagandha, turmeric extract, tulsi) face volatile demand due to seasonal wellness trends and export market fluctuations. Without integrated ERP forecasting, planners rely on: 1) Manual sales spreadsheets (2–4 week lag), 2) Supplier lead times (45–90 days for imported herbal raw materials), 3) Guesswork on production quantities. This causes: 1) Overstocking (₹100,000–₹500,000 tied up in slow-moving inventory), 2) Stockouts during peak demand (e.g., winter immune-boosting products = 20–30% lost sales), 3) Expedited orders (rush freight = 20–40% premium), 4) Raw material waste (humidity/pest damage = 5–10% loss in storage).
Manual Inventory और Order Management में Process Bottleneck
₹150,000–₹1,500,000 annually: ₹50,000–₹300,000 in returns/rework (3–8% of COGS); ₹40,000–₹400,000 in customer churn (5–10% lost repeat orders); ₹30,000–₹300,000 in manual labor inefficiency (15–20 hours/day × ₹400/hour × 250 working days).Herbal manufacturers using manual order management (email + spreadsheets + phone calls) experience: 1) Order entry delays (1–2 days to log each order into inventory system), 2) Picking errors (lack of barcode/RFID = 2–5% wrong items shipped), 3) Rework costs (returns = 3–8% of outbound orders), 4) Customer churn (slow response to orders = 5–10% lost repeat customers, especially for export contracts), 5) Double-entry labor (sales team enters order, warehouse re-enters for picking, finance re-enters for invoicing = 15–20 hours/day wasted).
एडआर दस्तावेजीकरण पर अनावश्यक श्रम लागत
40 hours/month manual work (₹500/hour = ₹20,000/month); training costs ₹1-2 lakhs/yearTime-consuming manual reporting and causality assessment for herbal ADRs divert clinical staff, increasing labor costs amid low reporting rates.
रेफरल कतार हानि
15-25% referral conversion loss = ₹1-3 lakh annual revenue per clinicPatients dropped during therapy handoffs (e.g., yoga to acupuncture) due to scheduling gaps in networks like SGRH CAM.
