Spotlight on Publications: The ECA On-Shelf Availability Road Map

Where companies determine a priority to improve On-Shelf Availability (OSA), it’s beneficial to support this goal with a framework for improvement. The ECR Australasia OSA Improvement Road Map is intended for use as a manual and describes the activities that need to be undertaken to develop projects to improve OSA.  It also provides an objective common language to aid communication between business partners aiming to mutually resolve out of stock (OOS) issues. 

The OSA Improvement Road Map offers an easy-to-follow framework built around a series of sequential steps, supported with information, tools and tips to address potential issues that may be encountered. As well as providing the basis for a project-based approach to OSA, the framework recognises the need for ongoing improvement and is also applicable as a continuous improvement loop.

 

The OSA Road Map will help clarify a staged approach to improving OSA. It also provides structure to the ensuing work effort and provides guidance around key project components for people involved.  

The ECRA OSA Road Map can be accessed on-line via the ECRA website here.
