Current Scenario: Goldratt Strikes Sales Mix Few large brands Stockist Mix Limited working capital of the stockist Several Mid Sized brands Niche packs New Products Slow Moving Generally where dumping / overstocking happens Not much impacted Understocked • Goldratt’s theory of constraint (TOC) applies to Pharma equally as FMCG. • Stockist (first point of sale for company) has limited working capital. • If this capital is misused for overstocking certain packs (to achieve targets, product-wise targets etc) then the stocking pattern is not as per the sales pattern (pro rata) • Working capital being the constraint, the fallout is understocking for several other products. © Tally Solutions Pvt.
