Purpose
This card tracks internal transfers recorded as direct sales within the yard. It highlights how many orders are moved internally (from one department, site, or process to another) rather than being brokered or external sales.
Key Metrics
-
Direct Sale (Green) – Total number of orders fulfilled internally and recorded as direct transactions.
- Internal Sale (Red) – Total number of orders fulfilled internally and recorded as internal transfer transactions.
-
Monthly Totals – Shows consistent counts of internal transfers across months to understand volume trends.
Insights to Look For
-
Internal workflow volume: High levels of direct transfers suggest significant internal movement of parts, which may impact inventory availability for external sales.
-
Operational efficiency: Steady, predictable transfers may indicate efficient internal coordination, while spikes could highlight bottlenecks or reallocation needs.
-
Cost implications: Tracking internal transfers helps ensure transparency, since they may not generate external revenue but still affect inventory and labor costs.
-
Trend shifts: Watch for changes in direct sale patterns, which may reveal adjustments in yard workflow or shifts in how parts are being allocated internally.
